The study sought a commuter rail service centered on New Orleans linking <a href="/wiki/Baton_Rouge,_Louisiana" title="Baton Rouge, Louisiana">Baton Rouge, Louisiana</a>; <a href="/wiki/Slidell,_Louisiana" title="Slidell, Louisiana">Slidell, Louisiana</a>; or <a href="/wiki/Mobile,_Alabama" title="Mobile, Alabama">Mobile, Alabama</a>. In the end the Commission opted for a New Orleans—Mobile service, prompted in part by the <a href="/wiki/1984_Louisiana_World_Exposition" title="1984 Louisiana World Exposition">1984 Louisiana World Exposition</a>. The three states entered into a 403(b) arrangement with Amtrak; under this provision Amtrak undertakes to operate a service but the contracting states subsidize most of the cost.
