A Day Out With Thomas ™ runs Sept. 22 – 24 and Sept. 29 – Oct. 1. On Saturday and Sunday both weekends, Piedmont Train 71 from Raleigh to Salisbury and Piedmont Train 76 from Salisbury to Raleigh will make special stops at the Salisbury station at 8:45 a.m. and 6:11 p.m. respectively. A shuttle will be provided by the museum on those days to get passengers riding those trains to and from the Salisbury (Train) Station and the museum in nearby Spencer.
People wishing to ride the train are encouraged to book their tickets soon at NCByTrain.org because seats are limited, and the service continues to be a popular option for travelers. NC By Train experienced its highest ridership ever in 2022 and the service’s 2023 numbers continue to break records.
