Is there a train that goes all the way to Florida?

The Amtrak Silver Star and Silver Meteor Service routes run daily down the eastern seaboard from New York to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Orlando and then on to Miami.



Yes, Amtrak provides several train services that go "all the way" to Florida from various parts of the United States. In late 2024 and throughout 2026, Amtrak introduced the "Floridian," a direct daily service that connects Chicago to Miami via Washington, D.C., and Savannah. This route combined parts of the old Capitol Limited and Silver Star. Additionally, travelers from the Northeast can take the Silver Meteor or the Silver Star from New York City (Penn Station) down to Orlando, Tampa, or Miami. For those traveling from Northern Virginia, the Auto Train offers a unique service where you can bring your car along for the journey to Sanford, FL (near Orlando). While these long-distance trips can take between 18 and 47 hours, they offer a scenic and relaxing alternative to flying, complete with private "Viewliner" sleeping compartments and full dining car service for premium passengers.
