Jacksonville station is an Amtrak train station in the Northside neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida, United States. It is served by the Floridian and Silver Meteor trains as well as Amtrak Thruway buses.

History

Viewed from the Champion in 1979

Amtrak opened the station on January 4, 1974, replacing Jacksonville Union Terminal (now Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center) downtown.[2] The station saw eight trains daily upon opening, four in each direction. Those trains were the Silver Meteor, Silver Star, Champion, and Floridian, but also very briefly saw the Vacationer.[3] The Floridian and Champion were discontinued in the 1979 budget cuts.

In 1993, the Sunset Limited was extended east from its New Orleans terminus all the way to Miami, and added a stop at Jacksonville.[4] Then in 1996, the station's services were further expanded to include the newly reinstated Silver Palm running from New York to Tampa.[5]

On November 1, 2004, however, the Silver Palm, now renamed to Palmetto, had its terminus cut back to Savannah, Georgia. Later, in 2005, the Sunset Limited was suspended east of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. This left the station with just two trains in each direction a day: the Silver Meteor and Silver Star. On November 10, 2024, the Silver Star was merged with the Capitol Limited as the Floridian.[6]
