Notice the dotted line between Jacksonville FL and Mobile AL in the lower right?
That is because of a "temporary" service suspension in 2004 from damage by hurricane Katrina.[1]
Apparently even Amtrak thinks that by 2035 they won't be capable of restoring service.

- db48x 5y agoIt’s not a matter of capability, they just decided not to. They don’t own the rails, so they don’t have to maintain or repair them. I believe that CSX owns that line, and they repaired it in 2004. Amtrack could have restarted that service any time they wanted to.
