The federal Surface Transportation Board has ordered mediation in the ongoing dispute between Amtrak on one side and on the other side freight railroads CSX and Norfolk Southern alongside the Alabama State Port Authority over the possible return of passenger rail service between New Orleans and Mobile.
) - The federal Surface Transportation Board has ordered mediation in the ongoing dispute between Amtrak on one side and on the other side freight railroads CSX and Norfolk Southern along with the Alabama State Port Authority over the possible return of passenger rail service between New Orleans and Mobile.
Amtrak’s Gulf Coast passenger service has been truncated in New Orleans since 2005, when Hurricane Katrina damaged tracks and other infrastructure. Amtrak now seeks to restore service in the form of two daily round trips between the Gulf Coast cities in Louisiana and Alabama, with stops along the way to touch the Mississippi casino coast and other destinations.
The STB-ordered mediation will last 30 days but could be extended. “Because Amtrak has not consented to mediate, the Board will not hold the underlying proceeding in abeyance during the pendency of the mediation,” the STB states in its ruling ordering the mediation.
