SunRail (reporting mark CFRC) is a commuter rail system in the Greater Orlando, Florida, area. Services began on May 1, 2014.[6] The system comprises 17 stations along a former CSX Transportation line connecting Volusia County and Osceola County through Downtown Orlando. The SunRail system is financed by the state and federal governments and the counties it serves. SunRail is Florida's second commuter rail system after South Florida's Tri-Rail.

A southern extension to Poinciana via Kissimmee, with four additional stations, opened on July 30, 2018.[7][8] On August 12, 2024, SunRail started a new service to DeLand as part of the northern extension.[9]

In 2023, the line had a ridership of 1,083,300, or about 4,600 per weekday as of the second quarter of 2024.
