Amtrak rail station From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miami station was an intercity passenger station originally built for the Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL). The first SAL train to Miami arrived on January 8, 1927,[1] and the station building was constructed in 1930.[2] The depot was located at 2210 NW 7th Avenue in Allapattah,[3] two miles (3.2 km) north of downtown. When Amtrak took over control of passenger services in 1971, it consolidated its interstate routes here. The station soon began to show its age, and on May 13, 1977, Amtrak began construction of a new station near the SAL's Hialeah Yards. Service was moved to the new station after June 19, 1978.[2]
