*"Silver Comet", New York - Birmingham, Alabama
*"Silver Meteor", New York - Florida
*"Advance Silver Meteor", replaced by the "Silver Star" in 1947
*"Silver Palm", used by Amtrak from 1979 to 2002 as a renamed "Palmetto" from New York to Florida; originated as the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad's "Palmetto Limited"
