Hamlet Station was originally built in 1900 by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad as both a passenger station and a division headquarters.[1] In addition to serving the Seaboard's mainline trains between Richmond and Florida (including the Template:Lnl and Template:Lnl), the station served until 1969 the Silver Comet to Birmingham. Until 1958, the SAL operated a daily passenger train from Wilmington, North Carolina, to Charlotte via Hamlet and Monroe.[2][3]

The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 19, 1971 as the Seaboard Air Line Passenger Depot.[4] That year, Amtrak took over intercity passenger service. Between 2001 and 2004 the entire Queen Anne-style station house was moved across a set of tracks for safety, and converted into a museum by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.[5] On November 10, 2024, the Silver Star was merged with the Template:Lnl as the Floridian.[6]
