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

The former Seaboard Air Line Railroad station in 2010

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]
