The city of Mobile still has work to do before work can begin to build a platform for Amtrak passenger service in that city.

Southern Rail Commissioners heard an update during their quarterly meeting that was held in Mobile on Friday morning.

Amtrak and the City of Mobile are finalizing the details for the station platform and layover track which is the final piece of infrastructure needed before the train can operate.

A lease agreement also has to be signed between the city and Amtrak, which is expected to be done by the end of this month.
