About the Silver Star

The Silver Star takes the inland route via Raleigh and Columbia and is the only Florida train that serves Tampa directly. Often materially cheaper than the Meteor for the same city pair.

What makes this route worth taking

  • Only through service to Tampa
  • Frequently the lowest sleeper fare to Florida
  • Serves Raleigh, Southern Pines and Camden
  • Bikes carried onboard

Agent's tip

If your dates are flexible by one day, the Star vs. Meteor price gap can exceed $200 in a sleeper.

Classes of service on this route

The Silver Star operates with Viewliner II. Available accommodation:

Coach Roomette Bedroom

Sleeping-car fares on this route include all meals for everyone in the room, priority boarding, station lounge access where available and a dedicated car attendant. Once meals are priced separately, the gap between coach and a Roomette narrows considerably — and for two people travelling together it frequently closes entirely.
