"On February 14, 2013, Pillar Construction Group of Clermont, FL began work on a new $1.2 million station building. The new station, which was designed in the Craftsman-style to better blend with the city's architecture, The new depot was primarily funded through a $950,000 grant from the Federal Transit Administration’s Bus & Bus Facilities program, which was matched with more than $237,000 in local funding from the city. Following the grand opening of the new station on March 3, 2014, the historic ACL depot was closed and demolished.
In addition to Amtrak, Winter Park station serves as a stop on the SunRail commuter rail system. Operations began on May 1, 2014.
