thomasville depot
Built in 1870, the restored structure is on the National Register of Historic Places. While it currently houses the Thomasville Visitors Center, stop by to see original passenger waiting benches (unique because the backs flip), two wall- mounted wood cases that held tickets and freight/baggage information, and framed group photos taken in the late 1930s of employees from the cotton mills and Thomasville Furniture plants. Many visitors are impressed with the beadboard interior walls and wooden floors.

Norfolk Southern's Danville District (Lynchburg, VA - Linwood, NC) is an interesting stretch of railroad connecting the mountains of Southern Virginia with the Piedmont of North Carolina.

The Piedmont or Piedmont Service is a regional passenger train operated by Amtrak and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), running six times a day between Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina. It is a sister train to the Carolinian, which runs from Charlotte to New York City. The Piedmont route is coextensive with the far southern leg of the Carolinian, largely paralleling Interstate 85. Operations began in May 1995.
