The station was an Amtrak stop but Amtrak service was discontinued after Hurricane Katrina and has not been reinstated. The CSX railroad line (formerly the L&N Railroad) runs east to Mobile, AL and west to New Orleans, LA.

The Pascagoula Railroad Depot was built in 1904 and was called Scranton Depot until the 1920's when the town became known as Pascagoula. It serviced the town with rail transportation for many decades. In the 1980's the City of Pascagoula purchased the depot from the CSX Railroad. Today, withstanding all the hurricanes and tropical storms of the last century, the depot stands intact as originally built. The Pascagoula Railroad Depot is now known as the Old Depot Art Center and Gallery and is the home of the Singing River Art Association where local artists can show and sell their work. Each month a new talented artist is spot lighted by the Association. There is always a course or class being held teaching different styles, media and/or techniques.
