History
The station building was constructed in 1904. L&N added enlarged the waiting room in 1918 as well as enlarged and altered some of the rooms.[4] Former Louisville & Nashville services which utilized their station included the Crescent (New Orleans–New York), Pan-American (New Orleans–Cincinnati) and Humming Bird (New Orleans–Chicago and Cincinnati).[5] Intercity passenger train service ended in 1971. The station building was restored during the 1970s,[when?] and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Amtrak service began with the Gulf Coast Limited, which operated between 1984 and 1985 and called at the station.[6][7] The stop was reactivated on March 31, 1993, in service on the Sunset Limited.[8] Damage to the rail line resulting from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 caused Amtrak to suspend service east of New Orleans,[1] including at Pascagoula.
