Miami Airport Station

Miami Central Station and Miami Intermodal Center, also called Miami Airport Station, is a rapid transit, commuter rail, intercity rail, and intercity bus transportation hub constructed by the Florida Department of Transportation in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States, just outside Miami city limits near its Grapeland Heights neighborhood. Tri-Rail trains began serving the station in April 2015, while Amtrak service is expected to begin in the summer of 2016.

The station is located on Northwest 21st Street near North Douglas Road (West 37th Avenue), just east of Le Jeune Road (West 42nd Avenue) and Miami International Airport (MIA), and south of the Miami River and the Airport Expressway (SR 112). When fully in service, it will serve Amtrak, Tri-Rail, Metrorail, and Metrobus, and will provide a people mover connection to the airport via the MIA Mover.

History

Amtrak station

In 1977, Amtrak determined it could not maintain the decaying Allapattah Terminal, which also posed logistical problems for passenger coach maintenance, and moved the Miami terminus to its current location at the Seaboard passenger coach yards near Hialeah, north of Miami Central Station. The new Miami Central Station is located six miles south of the current Amtrak station, on a mile-long spur that branches south off of the beginning of the Seaboard (now CSX) Homestead extension near the Miami River. Amtrak service to Miami Central Station was planned to begin when Tri-Rail began serving the station in April 2015. However, during construction, it was discovered that the passenger platforms were designed and built 200' too short to accommodate Amtrak trains. As a result, the Florida Department of Transportation is in the process of extending the platforms, which will drive up the cost of the project an additional $4 million. Amtrak service to Miami Central Station is now scheduled to begin sometime in the summer of 2016.
