History
editThe station was constructed in 1962 by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad as a replacement for Savannah Union Station, which was demolished for the construction of Interstate 16 into the downtown area. The $1.5 million station was built in the mid-century modern style.[3]
On November 10, 2024, the Silver Star was merged with the Capitol Limited as the Floridian.[4]
