Rail freight traffic is projected to grow significantly during the next few decades. The number of trains on some corridors is expected to double in the next 25 years and the largest growth in freight traffic per day is expected on the BNSF line in the northern part of the state. Rail flows to, from and within northeastern Oklahoma are expected to see strong growth as well, boosted by gains in exports from the Tulsa area to Arkansas and Missouri.
Oklahoma Freight Transportation Plan
ODOT has created a long-range planning document for Oklahoma’s freight and passenger rail systems, known as the Oklahoma Statewide Freight and Passenger Rail Plan.
