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:
“And now the chapel’s silver bell you hear,
That summons you to all the pride of pray’r:”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“We too are ashes as we watch and hear
The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
The service record of his youth wiped out,
His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
