Amtrak Fl Route
Posted by jester007 on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 9:46 AM

I lived in South Florida and saw Amtrak daily. I know the stations and the simple track North/ South along CSX to Palm Beach - Okeechobee.

I am curious though what corridor it travels North from Okochobee - Tampa. Then which way does it travel going to Orlando? I know that the Palmetto was eliminated years ago and Amtrack doesnt run on the western N/S track anymore

Okeechobee-Sebring-West Lake Wales-Auburndale (former SAL). From Auburndale, the Silver Star goes to Tampa and then back to Auburndale (former ACL). Both trains run Auburndale-Haines City-Kissimmee-Orlando-Sanford-Palatka-Jacksonville (formerACL).
