Location of the current station

Delray Beach station is a train station located off South Congress Avenue (SR 807) in Delray Beach, Florida. It is served by Tri-Rail commuter rail service plus two daily Amtrak intercity trains – the Floridian and Silver Meteor. The station has two side platforms, with parking and a bus loop to the west of the southbound platform. The former station building, located to the north, has been reused as municipal offices.

The original Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL) station opened in 1927 as part of the railroad's extension to the east coast of Florida. It was designed by Gustav Maass of the West Palm Beach architectural firm of Harvey & Clarke in the Mediterranean Revival style. Amtrak took over passenger service in 1971, with 1–3 daily round trips stopping at Delray Beach. The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as Seaboard Air Line Railway Station.

An architect purchased the station building in 1888. Tri-Rail service began in 1989, but moved to a new station to the south in 1991 after a dispute with the owner. Amtrak relocated to the newer station in 1995. It was rebuilt with a second platform and a footbridge in 2003–2005. The former station building passed through several private owners and was purchased by the city in 2005. After being damaged by arson in 2020; it was rebuilt from 2021 to 2024 for use as municipal offices.
