New Okeechobee Amtrak stop opens AMTRAKfrom IB senger cross-walk at the stationa requirement for the Amtrak stop. The new stop was established after more than 3,000 local residents signed a petition requesting the service.

Amtrak also received nearly 400 letters from local residents requesting the stop, Leatherwood said. The stop will be on a trial basis for the first two years. Six passengers per day, boarding and departing the train on the two daily stops, will make the move a success, said Charles Dunn, president of the Florida Coalition of Rail Passengers.

"This will make transportation easier for some of our northern visitors." Mayor Oakland Chapman, who broke a ceremonial bottle of champagne on the train, said, "This is going to be very good for Okeechobee." "I think this is something the city has needed for a lone time," said City Councilman R.R. "Nick" Collins. Passengers can buy tickets at area travel agencies, or by making advance reservations with Amtrak by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL.
