The Silver Service is a brand currently applied by Amtrak to two of its East Coast long-distance passenger trains operating between New York City and Miami:
The two lines generally take the same path between New York City and Miami, but have slightly different routes in the Carolinas. They diverge between Rocky Mount, North Carolina, in the north and Savannah, Georgia, in the south. The Silver Meteor takes a coastal route through Fayetteville, North Carolina, Florence and Charleston, South Carolina. The Silver Star takes an inland route through Raleigh and Cary, North Carolina, and Camden and Columbia, South Carolina.
[edit] Previous Silver Services
In the past, the brand has also been used for various services originated by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad between New York City and the U.S. South localities:
- Silver Comet (1947-1969): New York - Birmingham, Alabama
- Advance Silver Meteor, replaced by the Silver Star in 1947
- Silver Palm (1979-2002): renamed Palmetto from New York to Florida; originated as the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad's Palmetto Limited
