Amtrak Mardi Gras Hits Milestone | Jackson News

Amtrak’s Mardi Gras train, linking Mobile to New Orleans, celebrates its first year with flying colors — and riders. After a 20-year absence, this coastal rail service is exceeding expectations, boosting tourism and offering a smoother, more civilized alternative to flying. With stops in Pascagoula, Gulfport, Biloxi, and Bay St. Louis, officials are already eyeing expansion — possibly adding Ocean Springs — and riders are loving the comfy seats, great service, and festive touches like themed cups and free drinks on anniversary trips. This revival signals strong demand for rail travel along the Gulf Coast, and everyone’s looking ahead to even bigger things in year two.
