North Carolina State Fair station is a seasonal Amtrak station serving the North Carolina State Fairground in Raleigh, North Carolina. It is served by Amtrak's Carolinian and Piedmont trains when the fair is in operation in mid-October.[2][3]
The station waiting area is a tent on the west corner of Blue Ridge Road and south corner of Hillsborough Street. There are no ticketing services on site.[4] A wheelchair lift stored near the grade crossing provides accessibility to passengers.
Across the tracks from the fairgrounds is an abandoned freight spur leading to what is today a North Carolina Department of Transportation equipment storage facility along Beryl Road, as well as another one leading to what is now a storage warehouse. Sidetracks exist on both sides of the tracks between Powell Drive and Blue Ridge Road.[citation needed]
