Mangonia Park Station is a Tri-Rail station in Mangonia Park, Palm Beach County, Florida. This is currently the northernmost station of the commuter rail system (extensions northward from West Palm Beach have been proposed and are in the discussion stage).
The station is located on 45th Street(Palm Beach CR 702), just west of North Australian Avenue. It officially opened to service on October 28, 1996. Prior to construction and completion, Tri-Rail literature and signs referred to the then-proposed station as "Veterans Hospital Station".
Though SFRTA lists the official address as 1415 45th Street, it is actually closer to the corner of 52nd Street and Meander Drive. Access to the station from this corner is only available from a gate through a chain-link fence. A large parking lot exists between 45th Street and the station platforms.

[edit] Safety Patrol Train
Every January Palm Beach County Public School safety patrol boards a chartered Amtrak train at Mangonia Park station for their annual trip to Washington, D.C.. The train operates with a Silver Meteor consist plus several Horizon coaches. On the days this train operates, the northbound or southbound Silver Meteors are actually canceled since the train uses the equipment that would normally be used for those runs. This is the only time an Amtrak operated train stops at this station. [1]
