Arkansas Louisiana & Mississippi Railroad Co. (ALM) has filed a notice to discontinue rail service on a 9.32-mile line in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. This decision is due to the line having no local traffic since before 2014, and any other traffic can be rerouted. Employees affected by the discontinuance will be protected under specific conditions, and financial assistance options for continued service are available until February 28, 2025. If there are no objections, the service discontinuance will take effect on March 20, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Arkansas Louisiana & Mississippi Railroad wants to stop using a train track in Louisiana that nobody has used for a long time, and other trains can use different tracks to go where they need to. They're making sure any workers affected will be okay, and people can still suggest ways to keep the track open until the end of February 2025 if they want to help.
