- Oh, my, it seems that some “amateurs” are trying to do the wrong thing, according to National Association of Railroad Passengers Executive Director Ross Capon.The restoration of the Sunset Limited east of New Orleans has been high on the passenger rail agenda for many of us here in Florida and along the Gulf Coast. Gone since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the absent Sunset has created a large hole in Amtrak’s national network of trains. CSX, the Sunset’s host railroad east of New Orleans, released a newly repaired main line to Amtrak for service April 1, 2006, after damage from Katrina was fixed. Some station damage has remained, but nothing worse than Amtrak has routinely dealt with in other locations while still providing passenger train service.
