Union Station (Raleigh, North Carolina)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Union Station in Raleigh, North Carolina was constructed in 1890 by the Seaboard Air Line at the corner of Dawson and West Martin streets. It also served the Norfolk Southern Railway and the Southern Railway, with a total of four tracks. Being a stub-end station, Union Station was inconvenient to operate. Seaboard built a new run-through station for itself in 1942, as did Southern in 1950. By that time, Norfolk Southern had discontinued its passenger trains.
The head-house of Union Station survives as an office building. The former platform area was redeveloped as industrial property.
