Amtrak asks agency to grant access to Gulf Coast rails KEVIN McGILL, Associated Press FacebookTwitterEmail NEW ORLEANS (AP) Amtrak says it has asked a federal agency to require that two freight railroads provide access to their rails for the resumption of passenger train service between New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama. The passenger rail corporation, partially owned by the government, announced plans in February to provide the service for the first time since Hurricane Katrina badly damaged tracks and other railroad infrastructure in 2005. Freight trains resumed running in the area after repairs, but Amtrak service didn’t. In a Tuesday news release, Amtrak said it has been unable to reach agreement for access to rails of CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway. Its petition to the U.S. Surface Transportation Board seeks access to the rails so that passenger service can resume on or around Jan. 1.
