Morehead was a heritage streetcar station in Charlotte, North Carolina. The at-grade side platforms, located below Morehead Street, was a stop for the Charlotte Trolley in the South End neighborhood.[1]
The station began operations on August 30, 1996. Consisting of a platform area along the track, the station operated Thursday through Sunday and then daily on June 28, 2004. Service was temporarily halted on February 5, 2006; during which time the station was double-tracked and was rebuilt with signage and an emergency call box. When the station resumed on April 20, 2008, it operated on a limited schedule. When the Charlotte Trolley ended service on June 28, 2010, the Morehead station, along with three other trolley only stations, ceased operations.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Being located within the Lynx Blue Line's right-of-way, the station's platform area has remained unchanged and is accessible along the Charlotte Rail Trail, with nearby stairs and walkway to Morehead Street.
