The first Piedmont train out of the new Raleigh Union Station. The first shows the building with the train as it pulled in. The second is as it was leaving on its way to Charlotte. There are three Piedmont trains each way every day plus Amtrak’s Carolinian.
The Station started out as an assembly building for Dillon Supply Company, a steel fabrication firm and industrial supplies dealer. It was adapted and reused for RUS. The curve in the station tracks is almost ten degrees.
