Oklahoma rail boom on paper as lines spread state wide
Oklahoma faces a surge of proposed rail lines with the Orient, Oklahoma Central and Bartlesville routes advancing. Promoters vow extensions from Wagoner to Joplin and from Dustin to Denison, with Oklahoma City and Guthrie connections eyed. In Shawnee, officials report branch work to Henryetta and ties westward, while the Frisco and Katy lines pursue further links. A separate Muskogee suit alleges a Creek Nation fraud tied to town lots, with potential damages up to half a million dollars and thousands of affected properties valued near two million.
