Amtrak has launched the Mardi Gras Service, a long-awaited passenger rail returning to Coastal Mississippi after nearly two decades. Connecting New Orleans and Mobile with scenic stops in Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Biloxi, and Pascagoula, the train gives travelers seamless access to beaches, casinos, seafood, and major festivals like Cruisin’ the Coast. This new service strengthens tourism, boosts local economies, and makes Mississippi’s Gulf Coast more accessible than ever for domestic and international visitors.
