The Transportation Secretary will join federal and local officials for a ceremony on Tuesday that involves a groundbreaking of the construction projects needed before Amtrak service can restart on the Gulf Coast.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will be in Mobile Tuesday to participate in the groundbreaking of construction projects needed before Amtrak service can return to the Gulf Coast for the first time in 19 years.
The ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. at the Amtrak legacy platform at 101 S. Water St. in downtown Mobile. There had bene hopes that that Amtrak’s Gulf Coast return would be in time for the Super Bowl following the council’s action in supporting a $3.064 million expenditure for the train’s operations. By Halloween, the public was hoping to know the name of the train. It’s unclear if that announcement will occur on Tuesday.
