The Silver Star shares much of its track with the Silver Meteor, which runs further east through North Carolina and South Carolina and bypasses Tampa.

Silver Star is the title of Gary Glitter's 4th studio album, released in 1977, the other three being Glitter (1972), Touch Me (1973) and G. G. (1975). He had also issued a live album Remember Me This Way (1974), and a collection of his singles, Greatest Hits (1976) before Silver Star was issued.

The Silver Star was a luxury passenger train that ran overnight between Auckland and Wellington on the North Island Main Trunk railway of New Zealand. The train ran from Monday, 6 September 1971 until Sunday, 8 June 1979. It replaced the Night Limited express passenger trains, which provided a faster service than the "Ordinary Expresses" by stopping at only six intermediate stations en-route and not dragging postal or parcels vans at the rear.
