Fayetteville is an Amtrak train station in Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States. It is located in the Fayetteville Downtown Historic District and next to the Airborne & Special Operations Museum.

History[]

The station was originally built in 1911 by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, designed by architect Joseph F. Leitner,^[2] and was the third station to be located at the corner of Hay and Hillsborough Streets.

In addition to serving the north-south ACL main line, into the late 1930s, the station afforded connection with a line to Mt. Airy via Sanford and Greensboro to the northwest, and another train to Wilmington to the southeast.^[3]

The station has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 7, 1982.^[4] Between 2005 and 2006, the station was restored in an effort to bring it up to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.^[5]

Services[]

The station, operated by Amtrak, provides inter-city rail service via two routes: Palmetto and Silver Meteor. (The Auto Train passes through nightly but does not make a stop.) The facility is open daily at 10:00am-5:45pm and 10:00pm-5:45am, which includes the ticket office, passenger assistance, baggage service and the waiting area.^[6] A Subway restaurant is also located in the facility.

Because of construction of a new baseball stadium, hotel and parking deck, parking for the station is temporarily located behind the Airborne & Special Operations Museum. When construction is completed, pay parking will only be available via the parking deck.^[7]

Located one block south, along Winslow Street, is the FAST Center, providing local and intercity bus services.^[8]
