Transportation Museum is located in Salisbury, NC, on the site of what was once Southern Railway Company's largest steam locomotive servicing facility. J.P. Morgan, Southern's owner, chose the site because of its location midway between the railroad's major terminal points of Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, Ga.  Construction of  Spencer Shops began in 1896, and they were named in honor of the first president of Southern Railway, Samuel Spencer.

 
During its peak, Spencer Shops employed nearly 3,000 people, which directly and indirectly provided most of the jobs for the towns of Spencer, East Spencer and other surrounding Rowan County communities.  With the advent of the diesel locomotive, Spencer Shops went into decline. The repair facility closed in 1960, but the classification (freight) yard remained open until the late 1970s.  The heyday of steam-power transportation in the U.S. is represented in the photographs below.
