Location

Okeechobee station is a train station in Okeechobee, Florida, served by Amtrak.

The previous depot at the site was built in 1924 for the Seaboard Air Line Railway, and was demolished in 2014.^[4] Amtrak currently uses an adjacent shelter constructed in 2011. Built of red brick-accented with cream-colored, rock-faced stonework, the shelter has a waiting room with large windows. The $1.5 million project was funded through Amtrak's "Mobility First" initiative under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.^[2]
