I took the train from C to B today and rode in the front car so I could see down the tracks toward A.

It appeared the tracks were clear and several folks were inspecting and tidying things up. It looked like they were putting an additional train into service as I passed the "train house", maybe they are running it up and back between A and B for tests.

I am based in Houston and although I hardly ever use terminal A, and even then it was for UA, it sure will be great for those that do. I had a very elderly couple on my flight into IAH last week and they had to connect to terminal A. It was very hard to explain they had to take a train and a bus to get there. Our plane had been late to get in and they were very stressed about the whole thing.

I guess they will still use the Disney trains in the basement for access to the hotel, parking, and landside connections, but this will be great for both domestic and international airside connections.
