A 12-month study is finally underway to examine the feasibility of re-establishing Amtrak Passenger Rail Service from Shreveport-Bossier City to Vicksburg, Mississippi.

At present Amtrak does not offer passenger rail service in Northern Louisiana. Kent Rogers, North Louisiana Council of Governments executive director told The Shreveport Times that reviving rail service in the region has been discussed for a long time. “It’s a long, long, process,” he offered.

“It’s a great opportunity for this area to have that rail service. The initial linkage would be the Shreveport to Dallas-Fort Worth area then from here to Vicksburg and then from Vicksburg to Meridian."
