The Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCSR) will increase train speed from 10 to 20 miles per hour on 2.5 miles of track between Martin Luther King Street and Highway 90 in Gulfport, Miss., effective October 31, 2016. The increase in train speed follows a major track rehabilitation effort.
As train speed increases, KCSR and Mississippi Operation Lifesaver remind motorists and pedestrians to always expect a train and stay off tracks and railroad rights-of-way.
