Amtrak’s Piedmont train service was number one in the nation in growth within the Amtrak system during fiscal year 2012. According to Amtrak reports, March 2013 saw a 10 percent increase in Piedmont ridership over March 2012, and a 21 percent increase in revenue over the same period.

The Amtrak Piedmont train makes two round trips between Raleigh and Charlotte each day, and serves seven other North Carolina cities – Cary, Durham, Burlington, Greensboro, High Point, Salisbury and Kannapolis. The state-supported Amtrak Carolinian train also makes one round trip each day serving the same locations. Each year, more than 938,000 passengers ride Amtrak trains to and from destinations in North Carolina. The state has more than 3,300 miles of railroad tracks used by passenger and freight trains.
