The Amtrak depot at Chipley sits unused since the "Sunset Limited" was dicontinued east of New Orleaos due to hurricane Katrina. While the dmaged trackage in Mississippi and Louisiana have been repaired and the freight trains are rolling, Amtrak service is yet to return and there is no indication it ever will. Many tax dollars were used to buld the depot, install street lamps, and build'up the platform area only to have the effort seemingly go for naught. |
