Amtrak, CSX, Norfolk Southern Railway (NS), the Alabama State Port Authority and Terminal Railway Alabama State Docks have asked the Surface Transportation Board (STB) not to hold a hearing on Feb. 14 on Amtrak’s proposal to operate service on a Gulf Coast rail line.

Last month, the STB announced it would hold a hearing Feb. 14 on the settlement agreement between Amtrak, CSX, NS and the Port of Mobile that would allow Amtrak trains to operate on a Gulf Coast rail line. The STB also required the parties to provide additional information on their agreement by Feb. 1.
