Location

Opa-locka station is a Tri-Rail commuter rail station in Opa-locka, Florida. The station opened in 1996 next to the former Seaboard Air Line Railroad station building. It has two side platforms connected with a footbridge.

History

Constructed in 1927, the former Seaboard Air Line Railroad station is typical of the Moorish Revival architecture prevalent throughout the city of Opa-locka.[2] On June 25, 1987, it was added to the US National Register of Historic Places as Opa-locka Seaboard Air Line Railway Station. The property is part of the Opa-locka Thematic Resource Area, a multiple-property submission to the National Register.

The Tri-Rail station opened as an infill station on March 15, 1996, at a cost of $900,000.[3]
