Cost breakdown (proposal-scale estimates — see math)
⚠️ All figures below are parametric estimates scaled from the proposal's own budget ($8.5T ÷ 17,000 mi ≈ $500M per mile), not engineering quotes. Methodology is shown so you can check the math.
| Item | Basis | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal construction | Small-city terminal (parametric range $0.5–1B) | $0.75B |
| Land acquisition | Regional factor 1.0× on $200M base | $200M |
| Track: Broken Arrow → Tulsa | 13.4 mi × $500M/mi | $6.7B |
| Annual operations (share) | Staffing, power, maintenance | $15M/yr |
| Stop total (excl. annual ops) | $7.7B |
Best terminal location (proposed)
The Rose District / downtown Broken Arrow rail corridor. The Rose District's revitalized Main Street runs along the historic rail corridor that gave the city its start, with the city actively planning around it. A terminal here serves Tulsa's largest suburb at its civic heart rather than at a highway interchange.
