Silver Service

Silver Service is a brand applied by Amtrak to rail services on the United States East Coast between New York City and Miami, Florida. This comprises two long-distance trains:

  • Silver Meteor
  • Silver Star

These two services follow the same general path between New York City and Miami, but diverge between Rocky Mount, North Carolina and Savannah, Georgia. The Silver Meteor takes a coastal route through Fayetteville, North Carolina, Florence and Charleston, South Carolina, while the Silver Star takes an inland route through Raleigh and Cary, North Carolina, and Camden and Columbia, South Carolina. The Silver Star also serves Tampa, Florida.

Between 1996-2002 Amtrak operated a third New York–Miami train under this brand named the Silver Palm.

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or service:

    By right or wrong,
    Lands and goods go to the strong.
    Property will brutely draw
    Still to the proprietor;
    Silver to silver creep and wind,
    And kind to kind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Television could perform a great service in mass education, but there’s no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds.
    Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
