The first train in Davie County traveled from Winston-Salem to Mocksville on November 1, 1891. One train, carrying both passengers and freight, arrived daily from Winston-Salem at 8:00 p.m. and returned at 7:00 the following morning. The engine pulled the train to Mocksville, and pushed the train back to Winston-Salem after being turned by hand on a turntable near the depot. Both passenger and mail service ceased in 1967.
