[3] By the early 20th century, Cary residents used both railroads for daily trips to Raleigh for shopping.

[5][4] This was just prior to the opening of the new Cary Station which cost $737,000—$637,000 from the town and $100,000 from the Triangle Transit Authority.

[4] In 2006, the North Carolina Department of Transportation constructed a platform on the S Line, south of the station, which allowed the Silver Star (New York–Tampa–Miami) to begin service to Cary.
