Alabama cities jockey for Amtrak's attention

 

Amtrak's possible return to the Gulf Coast isn't the only wish-list item for passenger rail in Alabama. Huntsville wants to hop aboard as well.

 

The Rocket City's interest in passenger rail comes at a time when discussion about restoring Amtrak's Gulf Breeze line between Birmingham and Mobile is steaming ahead.

I would hope that a Huntsville passenger train option would include a tie to the conceptualized Birmingham—Montgomery route.  The study below is about four years old. Maybe after the election, there will be some favorable movement towards engineering and implementation.
