The Texas Eagle is a 1306-mile (2102 km) passenger train route operated by Amtrak in the central and western United States. Trains run daily between Chicago, Illinois, and San Antonio, Texas, and continue to Los Angeles, California, 2728 miles (4390 km) total, three days a week (incorporated as part of the Sunset Limited).

However, as of the August 2009 issue of "Trains" Magazine, Brian Rosenwald, Amtrak's chief of product management, has noted that the Sunset Limited may be replaced by an extension of this route to Los Angeles, California. "We projected the revenue and looked at the logistics," [he said], "and with a little bit of rescheduling came to the conclusion that we can make this happen with the equipment we have, and the additional revenue the train earns will more than cover the increased operating costs." The hopes of this move is to restore a connection to the Coast Starlight in both directions, and board in Maricopa and Tuscon, Arizona, at civilized times. "We are putting a stake in the ground: Triweekly needs to disappear," Rosenwald said.
