Amtrak Launching Daily Service Between Chicago and Miami

First Class private room options include a Roomette — featuring two reclining seats that transform into upper and lower beds by night and shower access. There is also a Bedroom offering twice the space of a Roomette and an in-room restroom and shower. 

Private rooms have large windows as well as a sink and turndown service. All customers in private rooms receive complimentary lounge access at major stations and priority boarding. Private rooms also come with traditional dining service in the Dining Car.

All customers have access to cafe service, which has also been updated. 

Amtrak is temporarily combining the Capitol Limited and Silver Star trains to create the Floridian due to the upcoming East River Tunnel Rehabilitation Project in New York.

"Our members have had a long-standing dream of restoring a one-seat ride from the Midwest to Florida, and we’re thrilled that a new generation of American passengers will be able to experience this service for themselves,” said Jim Mathews, President & CEO of the Rail Passengers Association. “This move will free up badly needed equipment while taking pressure off Northeast Corridor infrastructure during the renovation of the ERT Project. Rail Passengers applauds Amtrak for this innovative solution to keeping passengers moving during critical state of good repair work. We believe riders will flock to this new service.”
