Amtrak holds groundbreaking ceremony for layover track and platform
SUMMARY: Amtrak service is set to return to South Mississippi after two decades, thanks to a $178 million grant announced by Senator Roger Wicker. This funding will help restore the route from Mobile to New Orleans, which has been inactive since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The announcement coincided with a groundbreaking ceremony in Downtown Mobile for a crucial layover track. The service aims to reconnect coastal cities and enhance access to the Gulf Coast. Amtrak will operate two daily trains from Mobile to New Orleans, stopping at four South Mississippi cities: Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Biloxi, and Pascagoula, starting in 2025.
The layover track and platform was one of the remaining hurdles to restoring the route. For more Local News from WLOX: …
