Texas is famous for all kinds of big things ... and small things too ... and they're not all necessarily good. We have big traffic jams and big taxes for example. We also have big, (gigantic actually), freight trains. Trains are necessary but they have gotten so long that they've become an unsafe, pain in the butt.
Passenger rail from New Orleans to Mobile is one giant step closer to becoming a reality. Trains could be rolling in time for the Super Bowl next year.
If you've ever sat in traffic at a railroad crossing because the train was stopped on the tracks, you know why we're asking the question... 'How long can a train legally stop in Louisiana?'
A federal board overseeing the return of passenger rail service between New Orleans and Mobile is fuming over continued delays in the project. Who is to blame?
Because of coronavirus concerns this year, the train will not make any physical stops, but they will still be able to impact cities in need on the KCS railway network
