The two trains make stops at 17 destinations across Florida in total, including Orlando and Winter Park.
The Silver Star service was suspended in most of the state during Hurricane Ian because of track conditions. The host railroad has since repaired the track and allowed service to resume.
Meanwhile, the Silver Meteor has been suspended since January as COVID-19 disrupted Amtrak resources. The service was supposed to resume Oct. 3, but it was postponed because of Hurricane Ian.
The announcement Friday follows news that Central Florida commuter rail SunRail was returning to full service Monday after damage to the railroad tracks from Ian shut down service in Kissimmee and Poinciana.
