From a story on the Camp Bullis fiasco from WOAI:

He said any transportation plan has to ‘speed up the movement of troops’ to and from Camp Bullis, and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff floated an intriguing idea.
“Union Pacific Railroad is willing to work with us on a rail line which would go all the way from South Town all the way to The Rim, in terms of putting a light rail system in,” Wolff said. “This would alleviate some of the traffic problems we’re having on Interstate 10 and would provide another mode of transportation that we do not have today, and would lead out to the Camp Bullis area.”
Wolff said talk about the passenger light rail link is still in its early stages, but to be effective, it would presumably run from South Town, which is located along Alamo and Presa Streets south of downtown, up the existing UP rail line that runs east of downtown, through Fort Sam Houston, and then across the city and up Interstate 10 on the rail line which runs just east of Clark High School.
