The Orlando Amtrak station lies south of downtown, about a mile south of the old stations at Church Street and Central Boulevard. It was built in 1926[1] by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and used by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad after the 1967 merger with the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. Before the new station was built, the ACL station was at Church Street; this is now the Church Street Station tourist attraction. The SAL had a separate station at Central Boulevard (see Orlando). Thruway Motorcoach service, as of February 2006, is no longer provided by Coach USA to area hotels and attractions. Martz Tampa Bay provides this service for Amtrak to Lakeland, Tampa, Pinellas Park-St. Petersburg, Bradenton, Sarasota, Port Charlotte and Fort Myers. Local hotel transfer shuttle service is also still available, but again, no longer through Coach USA. Orlando station serves the Silver Meteor and Silver Star lines. It was also the eastern terminus of the Sunset Limited between Orlando and Los Angeles. However, due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina, the Sunset Limited between New Orleans and Orlando has been suspended indefinitely.
