DeBary station is a train station in DeBary, Florida. It is the current northern terminus of Phase 1 of SunRail, the commuter train serving Central Florida. The station opened May 1, 2014,[1] and marks the return of passenger rail service to the DeBary area, which previously operated from Benson Junction further to the north. The station is located along the former Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railway main line on the southwest corner of US 17/92 and Fort Florida Road, and will remain the northern terminus of SunRail until Phase 2 is finished in 2017.

Due to ridership of over 10,000 on the first two days of service, the parking facilities quickly filled up leading Volusia County to start two free shuttle services, one from nearby Gemini Springs Park and another from Deltona Plaza at 1200 Deltona Blvd, Deltona.[2] The free shuttles ended on May 16, 2014, coinciding with the end of free Sunrail service. Regular Votran bus routes 30, 31, 32, and 33 will continue to serve the DeBary station.[3]
