I have been gone for a while and haven't read all the back articles, so if this has been posted -- sorry.
It looks like Mobile is finally giving the OK for the resumption of service between NO and Mobile. I've been wrong -- I never thought it would happen.
This article is behind a paywall, but here is a portion:
Passenger rail service could return to the Gulf Coast between New Orleans and Mobile early next year, thanks to a new agreement between the city of Mobile and Amtrak.Mobile city leaders said last week they have finalized language for a funding agreement and ground lease that will pave the way for construction of a new train stop — the final hurdle needed before the service can begin. A majority of the Mobile City Council, which had opposed the deal earlier this spring because of concerns over its cost, is expected to approve the agreement next week."
