caption_attribution_description: National Train Day is held each year to introduce the general public to trains and train history. This year it also was a way to celebrate the 75th anniversary of streamline passenger service to Florida so what better place to hold it than Tampa's historic Union Station. Amtrak still uses Tampa Union Station to host the Silver Star, which carries passengers between New York City and Miami.
context_page_description: The Sun Lounges were a fleet of three streamlined sleeper-lounge cars built by Pullman-Standard for the Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1956. The cars featured a distinctive glazed roof area meant to capture the ambience of a dome car in a lower profile, as tunnels on the East Coast of the United States prevented the use of dome cars there. The Seaboard employed all three Sun Lounges on its flagship Silver Meteor between New York City and Miami, Florida. The cars later saw service with the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad and Amtrak. Two of the three survive in private ownership.
