"Backtrack": Amtrak SILVER STAR in Tampa

[Wehategod]

Did Amtrak ever run to Bradenton and Sarasota ?

@Wehategod Both Sarasota and Bradenton were served by the ACL and SCL prior to Amtrak's existence. As far as I know, rail service ended in 1971. Amtrak offers Thruway motorcoach service, but no rail service.

Rode the Silver Star To Kissemee in Oct '10. Sleepers were right behind baggage car. Love the train BUT could not sleep.

Weird. The Star is now assigned 2 sleepers, while the Meteor gets 3. There's also somewhat of a shortage now that the LSL has a Boston sleeper.
