Title: rail systems, monorail, metrail Post by: Owens on September 05, 2015, 12:08:51 pm Does anyone have information about the new rail systems in the Tulsa area? I would like more information on this subject, but keep coming up empty handed. What's going on along the Turner turnpike with new power poles going up?

Why High-Speed Rail Has Been a Nonstarter in the U.S. ? Skift (http://skift.com/2015/06/27/why-high-speed-rail-has-been-a-nonstarter-in-the-u-s/) Although there hasn't been any serious discussions or proposals for high speed rail service between Tulsa-Oklahoma City; impressed that we're in that conversation. If we could just get regularly scheduled passenger train service (consistent) through say something like the Eastern Flyer, that would be a step in the right direction. Not holding my breath on this subject. |
