Seaboard Railway's Silver Meteor - Railroad Streamliner - 1941: The Silver Meteor is a long-distance passenger train operated by Amtrak between New York City and Miami, Florida. Introduced in 1939 as the first diesel-powered streamliner between New York and Florida, it was the flagship train of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL) and one of the flagship trains of its successor, the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad (SCL). The train was transferred to Amtrak when it took over intercity passenger rail service in 1971. The train is part of Amtrak's Silver Service brand, along with its sister train, the Silver Star, SAL’s other former flagship streamliner. The two trains are the remnants of the numerous long-distance trains that operated between New York and Florida for most of the 20th century. During fiscal year 2019, the Silver Meteor carried 353,466 passengers, an increase of 4.9% from FY2018. In FY2016, the train had a total revenue of $36,652,426, a decrease of 4.7% from FY2015. This Linen Era postcard, mailed in 1911, is in good condition but shows some franking.
