I'll give the OP the benefit of the doubt and assume she was referring to train travel between her home town airport and Miami, and not on the mythical Pan American Railway.

This is, yet, another example of what happens when you rely on miles, rather than cash, for air travel.
It doesn't matter that the ticket was purchased with miles. Had they purchased it with money the same thing would have occurred. If you don't fly the outbound leg(s) of a round-trip ticket the whole itinerary is canceled.
