Tri-Rail and Metrorail Transfer station is a Metrorail and Tri-Rail interchange station in Hialeah, Florida, northwest of the city of Miami proper.

This station is located near the intersection of East 25th Street and 11th Avenue, officially opening to service March 6, 1989. The station was built as a connection for the Tri-Rail and Metrorail rail systems. Though the Amtrak station, which is served by the Silver Meteor and Silver Star, is located only a few blocks away, it is not officially connected to this station. It was scheduled to be moved to the new Miami Airport station by late 2018, delayed several years due to a platform length issue, where it will connect with Tri-Rail and Metrorail closer to downtown. While the airport station creates a slightly better Tri-Rail/Metrorail transfer, both will be usurped by the opening of MiamiCentral with Brightline and Tri-Rail service in Government Center, directly in Downtown Miami.

Station layout[]

Metrorail arriving on the upper level of the station.

The Metrorail platforms are directly to the southbound Tri-Rail platform at the south end of the complex. Access between Tri-Rail platforms is available via an elevated overpass over the tracks at the north end of the complex. and easy access to the upper level, which serves Metrorail.

The station can be highly congested during rush hour, being one of the busiest Tri-Rail stations, though it is among the lowest ridership for Metrorail. Most of the congestion was relieved with the opening of the Tri-Rail portion of Miami Airport station in 2015, which facilitates a closer rapid transit point to the central business district.
