Name one. I did a quick search for intermodal stations and trasit hubs and I can't find one that is not located downtown (execpt for park and ride stations). Penn Station and Grand central are located on Manhatten for a reason. In fact, I can not think of a single multimodal facility that is not located in a downtown district.

This is how I see it. OKc has two historic train stations, Santa Fe and Union. One is located in the urban core and one is not. One has train service today and the other doesn't. One is being replace by a freeway and one isn't. If location isn't the reason for these differences please explain what is.
