text:  Amtrak is facing roadblocks as it tries to renew service in the south. Plans for returning Amtrak service to the Gulf Coast may be derailed by some city leaders in Mobile. City Councilman Josh Woods is among those who oppose using taxpayers' money to help fund the passenger train service from Mobile to New Orleans. There are pro-Amtrak comments that I've been hearing, but also too, some of my constituents, a vast majority of my constituents, I'm kind of opposed to the city subsidizing a federal Amtrak program.
