History
The previous depot at the site was built in 1924 for the Seaboard Air Line Railway, and was demolished in 2014.[4] Amtrak currently uses an adjacent shelter constructed in 2011. Built of red brick-accented with cream-colored, rock-faced stonework, the shelter has a waiting room with large windows. The $1.5 million project was funded through Amtrak's "Mobility First" initiative under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.[2]
On November 10, 2024, the Silver Star was merged with the Capitol Limited as the Floridian.[5]
