    Years ago, I'd travel by bus across the country during my backpacking days…read more There were so many great stations that were architecturally accessible and meant to enhance the traveler experience. Those days are almost gone as buildings and properties are sold off while bus passengers increasingly have to wait in sketchy indoor conditions... if there is an indoors at all. Fortunately, the New Orleans passenger terminal waiting area remains a brilliant environment. Gleaming marble abounds and the original 1950s fresco murals remain. The 120 foot long images depict the history of the area. There is art all over the city. You'd be remiss not to visit the bus station for some of the best art on display every day.

    Decided to take Amtrak off of our bucket list. We took the Mardi Gras ride to Mobile Alabama. My…read moremom, mother n law, and father n law all tagged along. The train ride was nice and smooth like a Cadillac lol. We paid for parking for just 20 dollars for the whole day which was awesome being right by the train station. We did a bus tour around Mobile and stopped for lunch. You only get about 4 hours to return back to the station. My only complaint is that when you return you have to wait outside. There's no building to wait in and it was freezing. We couldn't board until 4:10. Other than that it was a fun experience. Will definitely take another one when it's warmer.

    Last time I came through here we were stopped to pick up and drop off passengers at this station…read morewhile I was finishing my tasty chicken dinner. That was 2019, pre-covid, when the menus were better and the stupid Covid protocol wasn't mandating the dining car remain closed and the Porters bring the food to your room. Digressing here :-) But today we've actually here for my sweetheart to board the train and Hattiesburg may just be our future routine train departure point. Since the train companies and the city of Mobile can't get their acts together we are forced to choose New Orleans, LA, Meridian, MS or further points for boarding a train to go up northeast. This one suits us just fine and is closer. There's handicap and temporary parking right by the front door, and there's free overnight parking directly across the street. The seating is old school church-like wood pews and there's several vending machines with drinks and snacks. The one employee that we came in contact with was very friendly and pleasant and she was quite helpful even opening and holding the door for us before boarding, nice. I also enjoyed reading about the history of the station, and some of the old pictures and posters that were hung on the walls all around. This is a beautiful old train station built in 1910 by Southern Railway Company and is an impressive one, designed in the Italian Renaissance style with a clay-tile roof. It has a 14,000 square foot interior and included a 4,000 square-foot passenger waiting room. In 2000, The City of Hattiesburg purchased the depot and 3.2 acres of land from Norfolk Southern Railways initiating a seven-year, $10 million restoration and improvement project. The restored Hattiesburg Depot was rededicated in April 2007 to function as an intermodal transportation center for rail, bus, and taxi services. It would also serve as a space for meetings, exhibitions, and special events. Bottle line: there are some funky train stations across the country, but this one is adorable, quaint, and a pleasure to hang out in while you're waiting on your choo choo.

    It's a beautiful train station that has been renovated in the last few years. Its a working…read morestation but only has a handful of trains a day passing through. It closes right at 5:00 so be sure to get there before then. It really takes you back to a different time, when travel by train was the norm and when people built things to last and to look good. The room next to the waiting room has some pretty artcatectual detailing, and the fixtures are also period. teh flooring also looked original. It is small, so you will probably only spend a few moments walking around, but it will be moments well spent. Check out the train depot, you will be glad you did.

    This was my first time riding the Amtrak train! We did the Mardi Gras train for a day trip from…read moreNola to Mobile and back. We arrive early the Monday after Christmas. It was freezing outside. There is an open paid parking lot right next door. I paid $20 for full day parking. Since I purchased my tickets online, there was nothing I needed to do. There is plenty of seating available. Once it was time to board, the attendant told us how to line up. The seats were roomy and comfortable. After we got seated, the train attendant came by to check our tickets. The ride was nice and smooth. I chose coach seating and really didn't see a big difference with business class. They were just able to board first and had better access to the on board cafe. We visited the cafe to purchase coffee, juice, and muffins. We were also able to bring our own snacks. Once in Mobile we had just over 4 hours to site see. The only negative was the Depot in Mobile was outside. We had to wait in the cold before we were allowed to board around 4:10pm. I wish they had an indoor bldg or would've allowed us to board earlier since it was cold.

The ride is…read moresmooth, easy, and a great way to see the beautiful homes, trees, and historic streets along the way. It's relaxing, affordable, and feels like stepping back in time in the best way. The streetcar comes pretty often, and the ride itself is simple to navigate. It's the perfect way to explore different neighborhoods without the stress of driving or parking. If you're visiting New Orleans, you have to take a ride it's charming, scenic, and one of the highlights of the trip.

All of a sudden, the trainee slammed on the brakes coming to a sudden stop for no reason and everyone shifted forward. Unfortunately, I was thrown off the step into the fare box after knocking the glasses off the poor gentleman sitting in front of me. It didn't matter that I was holding the strap as well as holding onto my husband. The man in charge took the trainee off and went behind a vehicle to scold him. Upon returning, he jokingly said we had an emergency stop. Never asked if anyone was injured. Stupidly, I never spoke up because I was embarrassed by the event. I immediately called the company after getting off and gave all my information. I told them I had just had meniscus surgery. I was informed I'd hear back after the holidays. Not getting any call, I called them. They claimed no record of this. I then spoke to claims who, unfortunately, didn't tell me I should definitely get a claim in. I called several times speaking to so many departments and people. I was assured the video onboard never would be deleted, so timing was fine. Weeks went by. I called several more times. I finally put a claim in. Mardi Gras came. Another excuse to have to wait due to the holiday. Well low-and-behold, the video is gone! Likely story! How hard would it have been to figure out who the workers were on Christmas Eve (and shame on them for never reporting it)?! I'm now needing another surgery on my meniscus as well as rotator cuff. No apologies, no responsibility, no claim of fault...just a very convenient missing video. Race is mentioned only because I'd love the people in charge to do their job and identify them. No other reason.
