Poinciana is the place to be this weekend for those who want to know more about SunRail’s 17-mile southern expansion and new service scheduled to open late summer. On Saturday, May 19, SunRail is hosting a Community Train Tour at its Poinciana Station located just east of S. Poinciana Boulevard, north of Old Tampa Highway. This is the first of four community train tours, held at each new station along the southern expansion.
