'''Tri-Rail''' {{reporting mark|TRCX}} is a [[commuter rail]] service linking [[Miami]], [[Fort Lauderdale]] and [[West Palm Beach]] in Florida, United States. The ''Tri'' prefix in the name refers to the three counties served by the railroad: [[Palm Beach County|Palm Beach]], [[Broward County|Broward]], and [[Miami-Dade County|Miami-Dade]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Tri-Rail Train Schedule|url=http://www.tri-rail.com:80/system.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970709152914/http://www.tri-rail.com/system.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=9 July 1997|date=9 July 1997|access-date=8 November 2021}}</ref> Tri-Rail is managed by the [[South Florida Regional Transportation Authority]] (SFRTA) along [[CSX Transportation]]'s former [[Miami Subdivision]];<ref>{{cite web|title=MI-Miami Sub – The RadioReference Wiki|url= https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/MI-Miami_Sub |website=wiki.radioreference.com|language=en|access-date=2020-05-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=CSX Transportation{{!}}Jacksonville Division Timetable No. 4|url= http://www.multimodalways.org/docs/railroads/companies/CSX/CSX%20ETTs/CSX%20Jacksonville%20Div%20ETT%20%234%201-1-2005.pdf |last=Downing |first=R.R.|date=January 1, 2005 |website=multimodalways.org |access-date=2020-05-22}}</ref> the line is now wholly owned by the [[Florida Department of Transportation|Florida DOT]]. The {{convert|80.0|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} system has 19 stations along the [[Miami metropolitan area|Southeast Florida]] coast, and connects directly to [[Amtrak]] at numerous stations, to [[Metrorail (Miami-Dade County)|Metrorail]] at the [[Tri-Rail and Metrorail Transfer station|Metrorail Transfer station]], [[Miami Intermodal Center|Miami Airport station]], and [[MiamiCentral]], and to [[Brightline]] at MiamiCentral.

In {{American transit ridership|annualdate}}, the line had a ridership of {{American transit ridership|FL Pompano Beach total annual}}, or about {{American transit ridership|FL Pompano Beach total daily}} per weekday as of {{American transit ridership|dailydateasof}}.

A second Tri-Rail line on the [[Florida East Coast Railway]] corridor, dubbed the "Coastal Link", has been proposed. The line would operate between [[Toney Penna station]] in [[Jupiter, Florida|Jupiter]] and [[MiamiCentral]] in [[Greater Downtown Miami|Downtown Miami]], and add commuter rail service between the downtown areas of cities between West Palm Beach and Miami. Combined with the existing Tri-Rail line, this expanded Tri-Rail system is estimated to have a daily passenger ridership of almost 30,000; or approximately 9&nbsp;million passengers per annum, doubling Tri-Rail's current ridership.
