Location

Kissimmee station is a train station in Kissimmee, Florida. It is served by SunRail commuter rail service and two Amtrak intercity routes (Floridian and Silver Meteor). The station opened in 1883, and has served several different railroads. It is the closest Amtrak station to Walt Disney World.

History

Kissimmee station was originally built as a South Florida Railroad depot in 1883, and was also a junction for the St. Cloud and Sugar Belt Railway and the original Florida Midland Railroad, all three of which were eventually acquired by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. It was replaced by an Atlantic Coast Line Depot in 1910,^[4] which is the building that remains to this day. The station was restored in 1976, but suffered some damage to the canopy during the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season that was repaired within two years.^[5] Sometime prior to 1990, it also contained a separate Railway Express Agency building, that was previously the site of the original South Florida Railroad depot.

Kissimmee was part of Phase 2 expansion of the SunRail commuter rail system, opened on July 30, 2018.^[6] To accommodate this new service, the station underwent numerous upgrades, including the addition of a 381 space park and ride garage, a bus drop off area, and the addition of a second track and two raised side platforms northeast of the existing ground level platform.^[7]

On November 10, 2024, the Silver Star was merged with the Capitol Limited as the Floridian.^[8]
