Tri-Rail and Metrorail Transfer station

Tri-Rail and Metrorail Transfer station serves as a key connection point between the Metrorail and Tri-Rail networks, situated in Hialeah, just northwest of Miami.

Positioned close to the intersection of East 25th Street and East 11th Avenue, this station began operations on March 6, 1989, to facilitate transfers between the Tri-Rail and Metrorail lines. Although the nearby Amtrak facility, which accommodates the Silver Meteor and Silver Star services, lies only a few blocks away, it is not officially integrated with this transfer station. Plans to move the Amtrak stop to the Miami Intermodal Center faced setbacks due to challenges with platform length. On January 13, 2024, a third transfer station for Tri-Rail and Metrorail commenced service at MiamiCentral, providing direct access to Downtown Miami along with connections to Brightline and Metromover.

Station layout

The elevated platform for Metrorail is linked directly to the southbound Tri-Rail platform located at the southern end of the station complex. At the northern end, an elevated pedestrian bridge connects the Tri-Rail platforms for passenger convenience.
