The station was originally built in 1924 by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, designed by architect A.M. Griffin, and contained a separate REA Express building. The city bought both buildings from CSX in 1994 and it was restored to its original condition between 1996 and 1998. The REA Express building was converted into a police substation.[4]
The station, operated by Amtrak, provides inter-city rail service via two routes: Carolinian and Palmetto. The facility is open daily at 9:00am-5:00pm, which includes the ticket office, passenger assistance, baggage service and the waiting area.[5]
Located cater-cornered from the station is the Wilson Transportation Center, providing local and intercity bus services.[6]
Through Thruway Motorcoach buses, the station also serves a large swath of eastern North Carolina.[7] One route serves Greenville, New Bern, Havelock, and Morehead City; another serves Goldsboro, Kinston, Jacksonville, and Wilmington.
