North Carolina Transportation Museum is a family-friendly place and is a 60-acre site filled with immersive exhibits and special events. Four exhibit buildings represent the remaining structures of historic Spencer Shops, once Southern Railroad’s largest steam locomotive repair facility on the East Coast.
The massive, 90,000-square-foot Back Shop features aviation and automotive exhibits. The Bob Julian Roundhouse, with 37 stalls, is the largest remaining roundhouse in North America and features steam and diesel locomotives, rail cars, and more!
