Mobile is a closed Amtrak train station in Mobile, Alabama. Built in 1956 by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, it replaced an earlier station on the same site and took over passenger train service from the decaying Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Passenger Terminal. Amtrak continued serving the station when it took over the railroad in 1971. Mobile station was a stop on the Sunset Limited line, and was also the southern terminus of the Gulf Breeze train from 1989 to 1994. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina flooded the station and Amtrak discontinued the Sunset Limited east of New Orleans. In 2006, CSX sold the property to a developer, who razed the station in 2007. The site plan provides for a future station nearby. Amtrak may restored service to Mobile within the next few years either a stand alone train between New Orleans and Orlando or extending the "City Of New Orleans" east of New Orleans to Orlando, Amtrak said in a report in December 2015 and as of now it looks very good to happen.
