Miami Airport Station is located near Miami International Airport and is the largest train station in the city of Miami , which is why it is also called Miami Central Station . It is the largest and most important interchange between road and rail in all of Florida .
prehistory
With the extension of the Florida East Coast Railway from the north in 1896 and the construction of the first station in Downtown Miami , the railway age began in the city. Operation on the route was shared by the companies Seaboard Air Line Railroad and Atlantic Coast Line Railroad , which have already set up a direct connection to New York City . In 1927 Seaboard built a second train station in the Allapattah district further north, which was taken over by the newly founded Amtrak in 1971 . In 1963 the first downtown station was shut down and demolished. For capacity reasons, however, Amtrak had to give up the Allapattah location in 1977 and relocated passenger traffic to the location of the former car depot on the eastern edge of the suburb of Hialeah , where the company's long-distance train station currently still exists about six kilometers north of the new Central Station . Tri-Rail , founded in 1986, began regional traffic in 1989 at the new Hialeah Market station to West Palm Beach .
The preparatory work for the new central station began on May 18, 2011, the official laying of the foundation stone took place on September 27 of that year. The signage of the station reads "Miami Airport" and with the opening of the MiamiCentral station of All Aboard Florida near downtown Miami, it will again assume a central function in the network of regional trains.

The station has been served by Tri-Rail since April 5, 2015. The use of the station by long-distance Amtrak trains was delayed until at least summer 2016 due to a planning error. At the beginning of 2017, this was postponed to the end of 2017; no new date has been named since 2018.
In its function, the station unites the former terminus Hialeah Market of Tri-Rail in regional traffic with the currently still existing station of the railway company Amtrak in long-distance traffic . While Hialeah Market will continue to operate as a Tri-Rail station, the current Amtrak station will be abandoned after the new station is completed. The Central Station also replaces a Tri-Rail station that had existed at the same location since 1998, the use of which was terminated when construction work began in September 2011.
In the same month was MIA Mover , an approximately two kilometer long automated people mover system between the airport and the new railway station opened. This means that there are transfer connections from the airport via the MIA Mover to the Tri-Rail and to the new Orange line of the Miami-Dade Metrorail, which has been in existence since 2012 .
In addition to a large number of taxi stands, there is also a bus station on the Metrobus network , which, like the Metrorail, is operated by the Miami-Dade Transit company in the county of the same name . From here also drive long-distance bus of Greyhound Lines from. There is also a center for local car rental companies.
