Harrisburg station is a planned infill train station in Harrisburg, North Carolina, located on the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR). When it is completed, Amtrak's Carolinian and Piedmont will serve the station.[1] The station building will also have office space for the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Department.[1] It will be the nearest Amtrak station to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

History[edit]

The NCRR purchased the 2.982-acre (1.207 ha) parcel on August 16, 2019, to construct a rail station. The town will reimburse NCRR for the land and cost of adding office space to the station.[1]
