The train carries on far beyond the state, but a shorter ride between Mississippi stations can be a worthwhile trip in its own right.

Approximately 36 bridges and 32 miles of interstate highway will be rehabilitated in Hinds and Rankin counties this fall while another five bridges are set to be replaced in Madison County as part of almost $700 million worth of infrastructure projects.
