Joseph Zalkin posted eight photos with the comment: "The Greensboro station is really beautiful. A throwback to the early days. Short hop to Charlotte, hopefully."
C Kent McKenzie shared with the comment: "My friend Joseph Zalkin shared these photos from the Greensboro Southern Railway Station earlier today. This facility is now known as the 'J. Douglas Galyon Depot.'"
Randall Hampton: It sat semi-empty for many years. I don't think there was anything in it but a nice H0 scale layout in the old segregated waiting room, off the right from the main lobby.
The NS railyard still has all of its tracks. I could not find any roundhouses on the 1951 map.

Brian Frey posted 11 photos with the comment: "History time. This is the train station in Greensboro. Built in 1927. Built to take the place of the old station that couldn’t handle the 60 trains a day they could see. Closed in the 70s, & restored & reopened in the early 2000s."

Terrance Hancock: I went to the Greensboro Station a couple of years ago for work. It still had the segregated waiting room intact. The room was used as a overflow DMV processing office when I was there.
