services=The Raleigh Amtrak Station, located in Raleigh, North Carolina, is served by three passenger trains, the "Silver Star, Piedmont and Carolinian." The street address is 320 West Cabarrus Street, and is located just to the southwest of downtown Raleigh.

Southern Railway built the station in 1950 after leaving Union Station. The station was not used for passenger trains from 1964 to 1985, when a pending abandonment of track by CSX Transportation forced Amtrak to move there from the former Seaboard Air Line station north of downtown.

The station is Amtrak's second busiest in the southeast (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky). Transportation agencies are studying a replacement station, possibly in conjunction with SEHSR or commuter service.
