History
,_March_11,_1995.jpg)
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad (L&N) built the station in 1929, replacing an older structure.[3] L&N services to Bay St. Louis included the Pan-American, Gulf Wind, and Humming Bird. Into the late 1960s, the Southern Railway Crescent and Piedmont Limited also used the station.
Amtrak service to the station began with the Gulf Coast Limited, which operated between 1984 and 1985.[4][5] The stop was reactivated on March 31, 1993, with the eastward extension of the Sunset Limited.[6] Damage to the rail line resulting from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 caused Amtrak to suspend service east of New Orleans,[1] including at Bay St. Louis. In anticipation of restored service, Amtrak began construction of a new ADA-compliant platform in 2022.[7]
Service to Bay St. Louis returned with the establishment of the New Orleans–Mobile Mardi Gras Service on August 18, 2025.[8]
