OK SR94

Designates March 9, 2010, as "Railroad Day" in Oklahoma in recognition of the freight railroad industry's service to the state.

Acknowledges that the Missouri, Kansas and Texas (KATY) Railroad laid the first railroad track in Indian Territory in June 1870 extending south from Kansas toward Vinita.

Notes that the KATY Railroad completed track construction across Indian Territory in December 1872, spanning the Red River near Dennison, Texas, and creating the "New Route to the Gulf."

Recognizes that freight railroads played a dominant role in constructing hundreds of Oklahoma cities and towns in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and that Union Pacific Railroad, BNSF Railway Company, Kansas City Southern Railroad, and 18 short-line railroads continue providing rail service marking 140 years of continuous service.

Directs distribution of a copy of the resolution to the Oklahoma Railroad Association.
