Relying on potentially available right of way, the analysis conducted by Kimley Horn & Associates found that the two most feasible routes from a hypothetical train station at 43rd Street and Mangum Road would largely rely on land next to existing freight rail lines, heading east then south, or south than east. The parameters of the study included finding a route where land would be potentially available without obstacles like buildings that would avoid flood-prone areas, environmental impacts and didn't pose technical challenges.
