Oklahoma Senator Don Nickles is conducting a contest asking Oklahoma children to name the state s new passenger train. Students in kindergarten through the 6th grade in communities serviced by the train are particularly urged to participate. Amtrak operates passenger rail and connecting motorcoach service throughout most of the United States, serving more than 500 cities and towns in 44 states. Amtrak and the State of Oklahoma officials will host a special inaugural train on Monday, June 14, operating from Fort Worth in the morning and arriving in Oklahoma City in mid-afternoon. More information on this special event will follow.
All times are local.
