The station opened on May 31, 1900, as the northern terminus of the Northwestern Elevated Railroad. It was converted to a two level station in 1907, with a loop track to aid turning trains. Wilson became a through station in 1908 when the Northwestern Elevated Railroad was extended to Central Street in Evanston (using tracks belonging to the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway). The current station building was built in 1923, shortly after the tracks to the north were elevated. Over the years the station has been extensively reconfigured: the lower level was closed on August 1, 1949; the platforms were reconfigured in 1960; and the North Shore Line—which also used the station—ceased operation in 1963, enabling the station layout to be simplified. The CTA's 2004–2008 Capital Improvement Plan includes plans to reconstruct the station starting in 2008.
Wilson is an Amtrak train station in Wilson, North Carolina. It is served by two passenger trains, the Palmetto and Carolinian. The street address is 401 East Nash Street, and is located in the heart of historic downtown Wilson.
The station was originally built in 1924 as the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Passenger and Freight Station by architect A.M. Griffin, and contained a separate REA Express building. The city bought both buildings from CSX in 1994 and it was restored to its original condition between 1996 and 1998. The REA Express building was converted into a police substation. The station is a contributing property of the Wilson Central Business-Tobacco Warehouse Historic District.

North Carolina by Rail: Amtrak Carolinian and Piedmont Trains
NC by Rail is an innovative program based on the incredible network of Amtrak Trains available within the heart of my home state of North Carolina!
My home state of NC, through the North Carolina Department of Transportation, has had a nearly four decades long partnership with Amtrak to do just that for its citizens.
In this video, I'll share the Amtrak Carolinian and the Piedmont, which is owned by the State of North Carolina, but operated (mostly) by Amtrak employees!
First, we'll leave Greensboro, NC onboard the Amtrak Carolinian, in Amtrak's Business Class and travel four stops before getting out at the Raleigh, North Carolina Train Station. We'll explore a little of Raleigh before heading back to Raleigh's (strangely named) Union Station and hopping onboard my favorite Train so fa...
