Promoting passenger trains as a transportation alternative in Florida since 1983. We are citizens who advocate for Amtrak, commuter rail, intercity rail and transit for Florida's future.
All aboard for fun at Tampa Train Day!
On Saturday, May 13, historic Tampa Union Station will host model train displays, exhibits from area history organizations, special programs, food, live music and much more. Tampa Union Station, constructed in 1912 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places and a City of Tampa-designated Landmark, has been the home for passenger trains in Tampa for 105 years.
Still an Amtrak station to this day, Tampa Union Station is well-known in the state as an historic preservation victory. Join us as we celebrate railroading's past, present and future in this great station which the Florida Coalition of Rail Passengers helped to save! This family-friendly event remains completely free and is now in its 10th year.
The Florida Coalition of Rail Passengers will have a table at the event spreading the word about passenger rail to others. Join us!
