Mississippi awarded $230M for reestablishment of passenger, freight rail service
SUMMARY: The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has awarded over $230 million in funding for the restoration of passenger rail service along the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the reestablishment of the Gloster Southern Railroad. The first award will provide funding for a passenger train route from Mobile, Ala., to New Orleans, La., with four stops in Mississippi. The second grant will be used to reestablish freight rail service along a 35-mile segment of the Gloster Southern Railroad. Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker played a key role in negotiating the funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The passenger rail service is anticipated to be complete in 2024.
