An Amtrak spokesman says workers are updating the Picayune train station to improve access for people with disabilities. A new boarding platform will be accessible to people with disabilities, bringing the station into compliance with federal requirements. The walkway from the parking lot to the platform will also be improved. And there will also be a lift enclosure to raise and lower people in wheelchairs and other mobility devices so they can roll on and off the train. The $4 million project is federally funded.
