TheSilver Star is a temporarily discontinuedlong-distancepassenger train operated byAmtrak on a 1,522-mile (2,449 km) route betweenNew York City andMiami viaWashington, D.C.;Richmond, Virginia;Raleigh, North Carolina;Columbia, South Carolina;Savannah, Georgia;Jacksonville, Florida; andTampa, Florida.[2]

TheSilver Star and its sister train in theSilver Service brand, theSilver Meteor, are the descendants of numerous long-distance trains that operated between Florida and New York for most of the 20th century. On November 10, 2024, Amtrak temporarily combined theCapitol Limited andSilver Star, producing a Chicago-Washington–Miami route, theFloridian.

Duringfiscal year 2023, theSilver Star carried 351,732 passengers, a decrease of 19.1% from FY2022.[3] In November 2023, the train had a total revenue of $8.7 million.[4]

History

[edit]

Background

[edit]
The northboundSilver Star passing through Seabrook, Maryland in 1969

TheSilver Star was originally a service of theSeaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL), running from New York to Miami and later alsoSt. Petersburg (beyond Tampa). It was previously known as theAdvance Silver Meteor, and was renamed on December 12, 1947, after the name was chosen by SAL in a contest.[citation needed] From 1947 to 1948, it was winter-only and did not appear in summer timetables.[5] By 1949, however, it was a year-round train.[6] Its main Miami-bound route went through the interior of Florida, viaOcala andWinter Haven. In peak winter service in the mid-1950s it had a section that went toSt. Petersburg viaTampa. Another section went toPort Boca Grande via Tampa.[7] ThePennsylvania Railroad (PRR) carried the train between New York andWashington, D.C. under a haulage agreement, similar to the arrangement with its sister train, theSilver Meteor. The agreement was maintained when the PRR was folded intoPenn Central Transportation in 1968, a year after SAL merged with theAtlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL) to form theSeaboard Coast Line Railroad (SCL). Between Washington andRichmond, Virginia, the train operated onRF&P rails. Amtrak took over the train in 1971.

Amtrak era

[edit]

Except for a brief period from 1994 to 1995 and from 1996 to 2004, when service to Tampa was provided by thePalmetto (known as theSilver Palm from 1996 to 2002), theSilver Star once served both Tampa and Miami during the Amtrak era. Originally, Amtrak operated theSilver Star with Tampa and Miami sections that split in Jacksonville, with the Tampa section continuing on the old Atlantic Coast Line route through Orlando, and the Miami section traveling throughOcala andWildwood over most of what was the original Seaboard route to Miami. After November 1, 2004, theSilver Star resumed service to Tampa, and traveled intact all of the way, backing out of Tampa and retracing its route 40 miles (64 km) east toAuburndale, where it heads south to Miami or north to New York.[8][9] The detour occurs atLakeland; the train stops there to discharge passengers before going to Tampa and to receive passengers after it returns from Tampa.

In the January 2011 issue ofTrains magazine, this route was listed as one of five routes to be looked at by Amtrak in FY 2011 as the previous five routes (theSunset Limited,Texas Eagle,California Zephyr,Capitol Limited, andCardinal) were examined in FY 2010.[10] With the discontinuation of theSilver Meteor's former Tampa section (a descendant of theChampion, a longtime rival of theSilver Star andSilver Meteor) in 1988, theSilver Star was then the only passenger train serving Tampa.

On July 1, 2015, theSilver Star's dining car was completely removed from the train's consist, a controversial decision that Amtrak rationalized with the idea that sleeping car passengers could obtain meals from the train's café-lounge car.[11] However, on May 1, 2020, theSilver Star's dining car was returned, and Amtrak introduced the “flexible dining” system to the train, which consists of pre-prepared meals which are then heated in either a convection oven or a microwave oven at the time of purchase.[12][13] In aRail Passengers Association webinar that took place on November 16, 2022, Amtrak's vice president of long-distance service revealed that traditional dining service was planned to be reintroduced on theSilver Meteor and theSilver Star "in early 2023."[14] Following this announcement, beginning on northbound train 92 on March 15, 2023, traditional dining was reintroduced to theSilver Star for the first time since 2015. However, this was not a permanent rollout and was instead in the form of a 3-month pilot program gauged to test the success of the service. Southbound train 91 received the pilot on March 17. On June 24, 2023, traditional dining service was formally launched on theSilver Star, as well as on northboundSilver Meteor train 98, and theSilver Star pilot program was replaced by permanent service.[15][16] Southbound train 97 received traditional dining on June 26. However, coach passengers were not allowed access to the dining car on either theSilver Meteor orSilver Star, unlike on Amtrak's westernlong-distance trains. Shortly after the formal rollout in another interview with the Rail Passengers Association, Amtrak's vice president of long-distance service stated that Coach Class access to the dining car was planned to be allowed by the end of 2023,[17] however by January 2024 coach passengers still did not have access. On March 4, 2024, dining car access was finally expanded to coach passengers, mirroring service on Amtrak's western long-distance trains.[18]

On February 4, 2018,Silver Star train number 91collided with aCSX freight train inCayce, South Carolina; the engineer and a conductor of theSilver Star were killed, and 116 passengers were injured.[19][20]

Since 2012, issues have prevented Amtrak from moving from theircurrent station to theMiami Intermodal Center (MIC), primarily regarding the length of the platforms and lease agreements. Amtrak argued that the platforms were insufficient in length, as extra cars are normally added to theSilver Meteor andSilver Star during the winter season to accommodate increased demand.[21] Tri-Rail began serving the MIC on April 5, 2015,[22] and Greyhound began using the station on June 24, 2015.[23] Amtrak had been expected to move to the MIC by the Fall of 2016, but in 2018 Amtrak rejected the terms of a lease agreement with FDOT and said it had no plans to move to the MIC.[24] In 2021, Amtrak reached out to FDOT to begin negotiations again for utilization of the MIC, and in February 2022, negotiations officially restarted.[25] Later in March 2022, a test train operated into and out of the station and proved that the platforms are sufficient in length to hold a standard 10 car train.[26] However, the platforms are not long enough to accommodate an 11 to 12 car train, which could be possible in the winter months. In September 2022, Amtrak management announced that it had restarted lease negotiations with FDOT regarding use and maintenance of the terminal. One issue however, is the deadheading move that will need to take place between the MIC and Hialeah. Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner has stated that "the company is evaluating technical and operational aspects of the move."[27] In an Amtrak Public Board Meeting Q&A on December 1, 2022, it was revealed that Amtrak was in the final stages of its preparations for relocating from their current Miami station, and had planned to relocate to the MIC in 2023.[28] However, additional track area would need to be constructed for the Amtrak trains to turn back north,[29] and as of 2024,[update] Amtrak has no date indicated for when service will start at the MIC.[30]

On July 6, 2020, as the result of theCOVID-19 pandemic,Amtrak reduced the frequency of this train to three times per week as opposed to daily.[31] SouthboundSilver Star trains departed New York Friday through Sunday, whileSilver Meteor trains departed Monday through Thursday. Similarly, northboundSilver Star trains departed Miami on Thursday through Saturday, whileSilver Meteor trains departed Sunday through Wednesday.[32] Both trains resumed daily services on June 7, 2021, after additional Amtrak funding was included in theAmerican Rescue Plan Act of 2021.[33]

Between January 24 and October 14, 2022, theSilver Star temporarily added a station stop inJesup, Georgia due to the suspension of its sister train, theSilver Meteor, which is normally the only train that stops at that station. This was due to a resurgence of theOmicron variant of COVID-19 as well as a further delay caused byHurricane Ian.[34] During this period theSilver Star provided a single once daily service between New York and Miami.

On November 10, 2024, theCapitol Limited andSilver Star were merged into a Chicago–Washington–Miami service, theFloridian. TheFloridian service is intended to be temporary to accommodate equipment shortages and planned rehabilitation work in theEast River Tunnels.[35]

Rolling stock

[edit]

Under SAL operation, theSilver Star utilized passenger cars built by theBudd Company andPullman Standard built either just before or afterWorld War II, and diesel-electric locomotives from theEMD E-unit series. These cars utilizedsteam heating provided by asteam generator in the locomotive. This equipment continued to operate when Amtrak took over in 1971. E-units were replaced by newer power, such as the steam generator-equippedEMD SDP40F by the mid 1970's. Amtrak began rebuilding their inherited passenger cars in the late 1970's to utilizeHead-end power (HEP); these rebuilt cars were known as the "Heritage Fleet." The train began using Heritage Fleet equipment on March 10, 1982,[36]: 78  and subsequently HEP-equippedEMD F40PH locomotives.

TheSilver Star used Amtrak's standard long-distance single-level equipment:Viewliner baggage, sleeping, and dining cars, andAmfleet coach and café-lounge cars. AnACS-64 electric locomotive is used between New York City and Washington, D.C., while two diesel-electric locomotives, eitherGE P42DC orSiemens ALC-42 locomotives, are used for power south of Washington, D.C. Amtrak began replacing the older P42DC locomotives with ALC-42 locomotives in 2023.[37]

A typicalSilver Star consists of the following as of September 2024:[update]

  • ACS-64 locomotive (New York–Washington)
  • P42DC or ALC-42 locomotive (Washington–Miami)
  • P42DC or ALC-42 locomotive (Washington–Miami)
  • Amfleet II Coach
  • Amfleet II Coach
  • Amfleet II Coach
  • Amfleet II Café/Lounge Car
  • Viewliner II Dining Car
  • Viewliner I Sleeping Car
  • Viewliner II Sleeping Car
  • Viewliner II Baggage Car

During the 2022 suspension of theSilver Meteor, some coach and sleeping cars usually on theSilver Meteor were combined into theSilver Star, creating a train with up to six coaches and five sleepers, in addition to the café-lounge, diner, and baggage car.

Route details

[edit]
AmtrakSilver Service route map

TheSilver Star operated over a combination of Amtrak,CSX Transportation (CSXT), andNorfolk Southern Railway (NS) trackage:[citation needed]

TheSilver Star used the same route as theSilver Meteor – the other train in theSilver Service brand – excluding two segments:Selma, North CarolinaSavannah, Georgia, andKissimmee, FloridaWinter Haven, Florida.[38][2] Between Selma and Savannah, theSilver Star takes an inland route over theCSX S-Line to serve the Carolinas' state capitals of Raleigh and Columbia, while theSilver Meteor stays closer to the coast on theCSX A-Line and servesFayetteville, North Carolina andCharleston, South Carolina. Between Kissimmee and Winter Haven, theSilver Meteor turns south to go directly to Miami atAuburndale, Florida, while theSilver Star continues west toLakeland, Florida and Tampa, before coming back to Auburndale and turning south to Miami. In addition to these diversions, betweenSebring, Florida andWest Palm Beach, Florida, theSilver Meteor makes no intermediate stops, while theSilver Star makes an additional stop atOkeechobee, Florida. Inversely, between Savannah andJacksonville, Florida, theSilver Meteor makes an additional stop atJesup, Georgia, while theSilver Star made no intermediate stops. However, during the 2022 suspension of theSilver Meteor, theSilver Star temporarily served Jesup.[38][2]

Prior to October 1986, theSilver Star operated betweenPetersburg, Virginia, and Raleigh via the CSXNorlina Subdivision, stopping only inHenderson, North Carolina.[39] CSX abandoned the Norlina Subdivision betweenNorlina, North Carolina and Collier Yard (just south of Petersburg) in October 1986, which required theSilver Star to be rerouted over the CSX A-Line between Petersburg and Selma, then over theNorth Carolina Railroad between Selma and Raleigh. TheSilver Star is to be rerouted via its former routing when tracks between Petersburg and Norlina are rebuilt as part of theSoutheast High Speed Rail Corridor project, and reinstate its stop at Henderson, as well as adding a stop inLa Crosse, Virginia.[40]

Like other long-distance trains operating on the Northeast Corridor, local travel between NEC stations is not allowed on theSilver Star. Northbound trains only stop to discharge passengers fromAlexandria, Virginia northward, and southbound trains only stop to receive passengers fromNewark, New Jersey to Washington.[2] This policy is in place to keep seats available for passengers making longer trips. Passengers wanting to travel locally must use the more frequentNortheast Regional orAcela trains. Additionally, theSilver Star, like theSilver Meteor, does not allow local travel between West Palm Beach and Miami. Southbound trains only stop to discharge passengers, while northbound trains only stop to receive passengers bound for points beyond West Palm Beach. This is due to the availability ofTri-Rail, South Florida's commuter rail system.

Since Amtrak ended passenger rail service over the CSXClearwater Subdivision between Tampa andSt. Petersburg, Florida in February 1984,[41]Amtrak Thruway bus service has been provided atTampa Union Station for trainside transfer of passengers and their baggage to and fromClearwater, Florida and St. Petersburg. Other points on Florida's west coast, such asBradenton, Florida,Sarasota, Florida,Port Charlotte, Florida andFort Myers, Florida, are also served by Amtrak Thruway service connecting with theSilver Star at Tampa.[42] Similarly, Amtrak has provided Amtrak Thruway bus service between the former stations along the CSXWildwood Subdivision in North-Central Florida since November 2004 after passenger rail service ended, as well asGainesville, Florida andThe Villages-Lady Lake, Florida. The former stations that are now served by Amtrak Thruway buses are:Waldo, Florida,Ocala, Florida,Wildwood, Florida, andDade City, Florida. These buses connect with theSilver Star at Jacksonville and Lakeland.
