On Wednesday, Amtrak joined the stream. The company wants to restart passenger service between Mobile and New Orleans. The service would impair the operations of the freight companies. There is a set of railroad tracks at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The steel tracks were streamed on Wednesday. Amtrak wanted to show how empty the railroad is. The company is trying to restart passenger service between Mobile, Alabama, and New Orleans, Louisiana, which was stopped after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, according to Vice. There is a dispute between Norfolk Southern and Amtrak. Roll Call reported that the freight-train companies said the passenger service plan to add four trains, or two round-trip trains, a day to the route without making infrastructure improvements would impair their operations. Over 1,300 people watched the stream titled "CSX's Very Busy Gulf Coast Corridor" from Amtrak. —Amtrak Connects US (@AmtrakConnects) February 14, 2022 We thought about putting up a live video feed to answer the question of how busy the railroad is. The trains were recorded between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The livestream cut in and out due to technical difficulties. It takes a freight train about 10 hours to travel between New Orleans and Mobile, according to a representative from CSX. It is grossly misleading to focus on one point of a line that traverses approximately 138 single track miles, major ports, and interchange points and then claim that it is indicative of the operational realities of the entire line. Anyone that understands railroad operations, including Amtrak, would know that. According to Roll Call, passenger trains have priority over freight traffic under the 1970 Rail Passenger Service Act, while Vice reported that passenger trains have the right to access any US rail line. Congress has said that additional Amtrak trains can only operate if they don't use unreasonable freight transportation. The freight-train companies argued that the Surface Transportation Board should deny the proposal to start service on the route. They argued that the proposed service would impair their existing operations. If the board approves the request, the passenger service should be required to pay for and install infrastructure improvements to prevent a near catastrophic meltdown of freight operations. A proposal for improvements to the railroad that the companies say would cost between $400 million and $440 million and add 122,000 feet of track was included in the filing. The freight companies are trying to veto the expansion of passenger service by holding the service hostage to $440 million or more in ransom, according to a spokesman for Amtrak. It will be weeks before the board makes a decision on whether or not to allow passenger service between Mobile and New Orleans. The original article can be found on Insider.
