The Silver Palm was a daily passenger train route operated by Amtrak between Miami and Tampa in the U.S. state of Florida.

[2] Amtrak ultimately introduced the first Silver Palm as a single round trip service between Miami and Tampa, Florida, on November 21, 1982.

[8] Amtrak had worked to remove speed restrictions on the line and considered adding more stops in an effort to improve service and increase the train's profitability.

[5][11] After a two-year trial the Florida Department of Transportation recommended ending subsidies for the Silver Palm.

[14] The Florida Coalition of Rail Passengers sued the state, arguing that the Department of Transportation had calculated the operating ratio incorrectly, and won at the district court level.

A proposal called Amtrak Connects US outlines 15-year expansion plans for state-supported intercity rail corridors, with one of the routes being between Miami and Tampa.
