Atlantic Coast Line Depot Railroad Historical Center

        Open in May 1995 the Historical Center has displays on history of Railroads along with model train layouts. Built in 1911 the station displays the Dutch Colonial Revival style that is unique to downtown Fayetteville. Today the station reminds us of the contributions that railroads have made to Fayetteville. On the other side of the station still operates Amtrak Passenger service to and from Fayetteville. At the station you can still watch the many trains that pass though the downtown area and feel the history of railroading.

       Once you step into the Atlantic Coast Line Depot Railroad Historical Center you will see railroading on a smaller scale. Three model railroads will greet you, an O scale layout, HO scale module layout, and a N scale layout. When you further explore the center you will see displays of Track working tools, a Semaphore signal, a switch machine, photos, timetables, lanterns, paintings, and memorabilia of railroading past and present, and sit and watch a video on railroading or if your lucky you will here a train engineer voice come across the scanner and then watch that train past though Fayetteville. Over 30 trains pass though Fayetteville every day.

        Preserving railroad history, learning about railroading, and having fun is what we hope will bring you downtown to visit the Atlantic Coast Line Depot Railroad Historical Center.

Kids gathering around the hands on train they can operated and play with.
