Amtrak, the largest passenger railroad service in the U.S., operates the train from Miami to Philadelphia. The two cities are connected by the Silver Service line, composed of two trains, the Silver Meteor and Silver Star.

The Silver Service is a long-distance Amtrak service connecting Miami and New York and serving many smaller cities along the way. All trains have Viewliner sleeping cars, with the option of booking a smaller roomette or a more comfortable bedroom. Still, unlike the Silver Star, the Silver Meteor has a dining car, which also means that the sleeping cars get inclusive room service. 

Amtrak offers two types of units on their Viewliner sleeper cars:

1. At first glance, the Roomette is a tiny room, but it is very well-used. Different innovative storage options will surprise you at every step. They start with two comfortable recliner seats, which turn into a bed, and a second bunk bed that you pull from the ceiling, making enough space for two people to sleep and have a great view. The older Viewliner cars have a toilet and a sink in the room (one of the surprises under the steps to the upper bunk), which can be tricky if there are two people. The newer cars have toilets and bathrooms in the hallway.
2. The Bedroom is twice as big, with a comfy queen bed and a bathroom in the room (separated by a door). It has all the amenities of the Roomette with a difference of more space and a higher price. 

If you opt for the sleeping car, keep in mind that you must book the entire unit alone or with someone. Also, the coach has comfortable reclining seats, perfect for getting some shut-eye, so give it a chance.

In Miami, you can board the train at The Miami Amtrak Station (8303 NW 37th Ave). It offers travelers a large and convenient waiting area with vending machines, restrooms, on-site customer service staff, and secure parking facilities. For easy access to other parts of this vibrant city, there's also a Tri-Rail Metrorail Transfer Station conveniently located just blocks away from 8303 NW 37th Ave!

In Philadelphia, you can get off at two stations:

1. 30th Street Station, officially William H. Gray III, initially built in the 1930s, has since become a hub for transportation with access to Amtrak, SEPTA, and other forms of public transit. The beautiful station building is located in the University city, filled with restaurants and cafés, providing plenty of things to do and see. The famous Liberty bell is also easily reachable; if history is not your thing, you can always stroll down the Delaware river.
2. Another option is the North Philadelphia station. It is located on Broad Street and close to tourist attractions such as the African American Museum of Philadelphia and the Rodin Museum. However, the station also has a reputation for being unsafe, and it may be better to exit on the 30th Street Station, which is constantly monitored and protected by the police and Amtrak security.
