Transportation Museum "Located at Historic Spencer Shops (also known as Historic Spencer Shops) is located on the site of what was once Southern Railway Company's largest steam locomotive servicing facility. Begun in 1896 at a point roughly half-way between Washington and Atlanta, Spencer Shops and the town of Spencer, N.C., were both named for Samuel Spencer, the first President of Southern Railway.
