Eastern Flyer is a proposed medium distance inter-city train traveling from Oklahoma City in central

Oklahoma to Tulsa in north-eastern Oklahoma. It is a private operation, operated by the Iowa Pacific
railroad, and its services are to include a dome car, coaches and full meal service. This would be the
first regular passenger service to Tulsa since 1967.
Initial commercial demonstration test trips were conducted in February 2014, running between
Oklahoma City and the Tulsa suburb of Sapulpa with stops in Stroud and Bristow.[1] In late 2014, Iowa
Pacific offered one-hour "Polar Express" excursions on the Eastern Flyer out of Bristow, inspired by the
children's book and film of the same name, to promote the service.[2] In March 2015, service was
estimated to begin in May or "early summer", with rail service from Sapulpa to Midwest City, with bus
shuttles on each end.[3] In June, Iowa Pacific said the start date would be further delayed, as both
Oklahoma City and Tulsa considered efforts to facilitate rail service connecting the cities'
downtowns.[4]
