Hillsborough station is a planned infill train station in Hillsborough, North Carolina, located on the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR). According to town officials, the station building will have a meeting space, similar to Kannapolis station.[1][2] When it is completed, Amtrak's Carolinian and Piedmont will serve the station.[3][4] Along with the Durham station it will be the nearest Amtrak stations to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
