The Carolinian began serving the station in 1997, with the Silver Star following in 2005. In 2010-2011 NCDOT expanded the station with a larger waiting room, restrooms, and a staffed ticket sales window with checked baggage service.
The Cary station has about 130 free parking spaces, whereas the Raleigh station has paid parking. Passengers boarding trains at Cary, however, are subject to weather.
