I was at the Embassy suites in Boca Raton a few days ago and saw that the trirail station was right in front of it. I thought it would have been real convenient to have the station there had I taken a trip without a rental car. Unfortionately it looks like they are building a new station that is not within close walking distance to all the hotels. The new station looks like it is going to be nice nonetheless. Does anyone know when they plan to start operation of the new station? It will be interesting to see if AMTRAK adds a stop there since it appears to be much larger.
The station work and the double track work are hand in hand. After the
new station is put into service, the old one will be demolished immediately
in order to allow the new second track to be put in just about on the same
ground as the present station sits.
As far as Amtrak is concerned, the stop at Deerfield Beach more than
adequately serves Boca Raton and there are no plans for any additional
Amtrak stops in this territory.
