Seven North Carolina Railroad Stations and Other Structures in
DURHAM
On July 10, 2009, the North Carolina Department of Transportation dedicated a new station in Durham to replace the temporary station
depicted below. The 10,000 square foot depot is located in the remodeled Walker Warehouse Building at 601 W. Main Street in Durham.
Paul Folmsbee attended the dedication of the new station and provided us with photos taken at that time.
