Summary
Tulsa bans loitering within railroad stations, platforms, or rights-of-way once a railroad employee tells you to leave, under Tulsa Revised Ordinances, Title 27, § 1103: a narrow ordinance limited to railroad property, not a general anti-loitering law.
It shall be an offense for any person, without right, to loiter or remain within a railroad station building, upon a railroad station platform or upon a railroad right-of-way after being requested to leave the railroad station, building, railroad platform, railroad ground or railroad right-of-way by an employee of the person operating such railroad.
Full Breakdown
Tulsa Revised Ordinances, Title 27 (Penal Code), Chapter 11, § 1103 makes it an offense for anyone other than a railroad employee to loiter or remain within a railroad station building, on a station platform, or on a railroad right-of-way after being asked to leave by an employee of the railroad operator. Companion sections in the same chapter cover trespassing on tracks (§ 1102) and climbing on a moving train (§ 1101). Violations carry the chapter's general penalty under § 1104. Tulsa has no separate, general-purpose loitering or vagrancy ordinance reaching sidewalks, parks, or other public places outside railroad property.
Violations & Fines
Fine of not more than $200, excluding costs, fees and assessments, under § 1104's chapter-wide penalty clause for Chapter 11 offenses.
