Oklahoma Passenger Rail Association        Updated June 18th, 2009

Our mission

Oklahoma Rail works to improve,
expand, and raise awareness of the benefits
of rail passenger services to and through
the state.
Will the energy be there?   
Is Oklahoma prepared?

The recession isn't over yet but gasoline prices are up
again.  Thousands of petroleum projects have been
cancelled.   Will the oil be there when the world
economy recovers?  An improved Oklahoma rail
system with more trains to more places is part of the
solution.  Visit our Oklahoma Peak Oil page to learn
more.
