The Eastern Flyer train expeditions from the Tulsa area to Oklahoma City are completely sold out.

A spokeswoman for Iowa Pacific, a company sponsoring the train, said they had managed to sell out all 900 tickets for the three weekends in February.

The train rides are some of the first passenger train excursions offered between Oklahoma City and Tulsa in 47 years.

The train actually leaves from downtown Sapulpa and arrives about three hours later in downtown Oklahoma City, using the state-owned Sooner Subdivision line. The track is leased by Stillwater Central Railroad, another partner of the Eastern Flyer.

It was 1967 that regular rail service between Tulsa and Oklahoma City ended, also isolating Tulsa train passengers from the rest of the nation’s rail infrastructure.

Tickets on the Eastern Flyer ranged between $64 for a standard ticket, up to $249 for dining service in the luxury, glass-dome roof car.

The train rides take place on Feb. 9, 15, and 23, leaving Sapulpa at about 8:30 a.m. and returning around 6:30 p.m.
