Introduction

Amtrak Miami Station serves as the southernmost Amtrak railhead in Florida, connecting Miami with cities across the Southeast and Northeast U.S., including New York, Washington DC, and Chicago. It is an essential stop on the Florida section of the Amtrak station list, offering traditional rail services in and out of South Florida.

Miami Station is located near NW 37th Ave in the Hialeah area — a few blocks from commuter connections like Tri-Rail and Metrobus.

History & Architecture

Amtrak opened Miami Station in 1978, replacing an older Seaboard Air Line Railroad terminal that had served the city since the early 20th century.

Designed under a series of standardized Amtrak architectural plans, the facility features:

• A high-ceiling two-story waiting room
• Expansive glass walls for natural light
• A cantilevered roof that appears to float above the building

The station was constructed on former railroad yard land and dedicated in a public ceremony attended by more than 1,000 people upon opening.
