Hardesty Library

The film highlights the importance of protecting Oklahoma's rail infrastructure and putting it to better use. The film explores the extent to which Oklahoma City 's transportation future is threatened by plans of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) to rip out the 12-track Oklahoma City Union Station railyard as part of the I-40 Crosstown relocation. It details ODOT rerouting plans and compares efforts to fight the destruction of the railyard. It also shows how the facility could be reused as an Oklahoma multi-modal transportation hub. The filmmaker, Don Grissom, was a graduate of Norman High School. He worked in film and video production in Washington, D.C. for 28 years and returned to Norman in 2007 to continue his documentary career. Don completed this film before his recent untimely death. With a discussion to follow in the gallery.
