Amtrak’s Silver Star route travels daily between New York City and Miami with many stops in Florida. The Silver Star shares many stations with the Silver Meteor and these two routes are called Silver Service. The main difference is that the Silver Star makes additional stops in North Carolina and travels to Tampa. For a virtual tour, check out the Silver Star audio overview.
