Whistlestop Exhibit at Company Shops Station

Burlington’s former engine house was built in the 1800s to provide space for maintenance on train engines. Company Shops Station is now Alamance County’s passenger station. The 18,000-square-foot facility also houses the NC Railroad Company’s Whistlestop Exhibit. This exhibit includes a model of Company Shops (as Burlington was once known), scenes of life in the late 1800s, plus steam and diesel train engines coming through the engine house, murals and more.
