The Winter Park Amtrak station is a train station in Winter Park, Florida, United States served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system. The station was originally built in 1890 as a South Florida Railroad depot, ten years after South Florida Railroad built a line from Sanford to Orlando. It was later replaced in 1913 by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, and included a freight depot which was located on the south side of the station until 1982, which is now used as a farmer's market.[2][3] The current station was originally built by ACL in 1962, is adjacent to a city park, and is one block away from Park Avenue, a street with upscale shopping and many restaurants.
