The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) will start Tri-Rail’s expanded service into the MiamiCentral Station on Jan. 13.

The new service will be introduced as a train-to-train transfer at the Metrorail Transfer Station in Hialeah, Florida, where a shuttle train will spur out of the South Florida Rail Corridor onto Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) track for a direct service to MiamiCentral Station and back.

The service will soft launch for two weeks starting with six trains heading in and six trains heading out of the station. More trains will be incrementally added to the schedule until the full schedule — consisting of 26 weekday trains — is reached.
 
The Downtown Miami Link Project was a coordinated effort with multiple partners from the region to provide passenger-rail service between the South Florida corridor used by Tri-Rail and the FEC, which owns the tracks that connect into downtown, SFRTA officials said in a news release.
