I love railroads and decided to check out the Southeastern Narrow Gauge & Shortline Museum in…read moreNewton, NC. The museum is inside the former Newton Depot. Admission is free but donations are accepted. The museum is just open on Fridays and Saturdays. A narrow gauge railway is typically used in mountainous terrain and less populated communities as they are cheaper to build. They were used for mining, logging, quarrying, and moving agriculture products. Inside the museum you will see all of the artifacts and there are a lot of them. So much history in a small place. If you are passing through this area I highly recommend a stop at the museum.

UNCC is a massive campus with an enrollment of some 30,000 students and it stands on a 1,000 acre campus. The station is at the surface level with a single island platform. There is a crossover just before the station and the trains could be at the stop on either side. There is some cover here but the station is otherwise completely exposed to the elements as are nearly all Blue Line stations. There is an automated ticket vending machine on the platform and you must have a ticket before boarding the train. You can also use the CATS app to purchase online. The next stop southbound is JW Clay Blvd/UNC Charlotte towards I-485/South Boulevard. A full run of the entire line https://www.yelp.com/collection/HPr54TmCPySOUTOSgzOvZA/Mind-the-gap-y-all takes about 45 minutes. As Chris S. mentions, there is parking here but it is only for those with campus parking permits. [Review 16942 overall - 3264 in North Carolina - 458 of 2022.]
