The North Carolina Transportation Museum is a museum in Spencer, North Carolina. It is a collection of automobiles and railway vehicles; the museum is located at the former Southern Railway's 1896-era Spencer Shops and devotes much of its space to the state's railroad history. The museum has the largest collection of rail relics in the Carolinas, its Back Shop building of nearly three stories high is most notable for its size of two football fields long. The museum was founded in 1977, when the Southern Railway deeded 4 acres of land to North Carolina for a transportation museum. Two years another 53 acres was added to the original donation; the museum's first exhibit called People and Time opened in 1983. The museum grew over the years, most notably in 1996, with the opening of Barber Junction, a relocated railroad depot from some 30 miles away, the newly renovated Bob Julian Roundhouse. Barber Junction serves as the museum's Visitor's Center and departure point for the on-site train ride; the Bob Julian Roundhouse serves as the hub for most of the museum's railroad exhibits, but includes aviation exhibits and site history.

Several bays of the Spencer Shops roundhouse, built in 1924, are devoted to locomotives and rolling stock in the museum collection restored by volunteers. It was here. In the first 16 stalls, visitors can walk among the massive locomotives and rail cars on display in an open-air setting. Moving into the enclosed Elmer Lam gallery in stalls 17 through 20, aviation exhibits dominate, with a full size replica Wright Flyer, Piedmont Airlines exhibits, more. Moving into the restoration shop occupying stalls 21 through 32, visitors may see volunteers working on various railroad pieces, manufacturing parts; the remaining five stalls are dedicated to additional enclosed exhibits. The museum is the largest repository of rail relics in North and South Carolina and averages 80,000 visitors annually. About three-thousand people were employed to repair the trains at the Spencer Shops in the first half of the twentieth century; the Flue Shop, where all the flues for steam engines were produced, has become the Bumper To Bumper exhibit, featuring vintage and antique cars.

These include: several Model Ts, a Model A, a Ford Model R. A Highway Patrol car from 1935, a Divco Milk Truck, a Lincoln Continental and others are part of the museum's collection. In 2005, the museum's Back Shop underwent a massive renovation, which included repairs to the roof, re-pointing of the brick, a stabilization of the building's floor; this building, where the full overhaul of steam locomotives once took place, is most notable for its size. It is two football fields long and nearly three stories tall. However, it may be most notable for the words "Be Careful," standing some three feet tall, visible from nearly anywhere on the north end of the site. In 2009, the museum opened the Back Shop to the public for the first time, with an access ramp on the south end. In 2017 the backshop was opened allowing more exhibits; the museum has a heritage railroad, which operates passenger excursion trains on a seasonal schedule. Trains are powered by the Norfolk and Western #620, however, at times the Southern #6133 or Southern #2601 is used.

These two engines assist in special events where two or more trains are operating. Though the museum has no operating steam locomotives of its own, but has visiting steam locomotives such as Lehigh Valley Coal 0-6-0T #126, Flag Coal Company 0-4-0T #75, Jeddo Coal Company 0-4-0T #85, all owned by the Gramling Locomotive Works of Ashley, IN. In 2012 and 2013, the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum's Southern 2-8-0 #630 visited the museum offering employee and public excursions to Barber, NC and Winston-Salem, NC. From 2014 to 2015, the Norfolk and Western 611 was restored to operating condition at the museum, ran public excursions departing from Spencer in 2016 and 2017. Destinations included Lynchburg, VA, Asheville, NC, Charlotte, NC, Greensboro, NC; the #611 has been used on site for "At The Throttle" and "Be The Fireman" sessions, Cab Rides, Caboose Rides, it has pulled the Museum's Passenger Train. In 2015, the American 4-4-0 "Leviathan" locomotive visited the museum for the Lincoln Funeral Train event, commemorating 150 years since that event took place.

Tickets can purchased to ride the roundhouse turntable. The museum hosts a number of annual events and some one-time railroading events that bring rail fans from across the country. In 2012, the Bob Julian Roundhouse was the stage for all 20 of Norfolk Southern's Heritage locomotives during a two-day photographic event. In 2014, the museum hosted Streamliners at Spencer, with notable 1930s - 1950s era locomotives gathered around the Bob Julian Roundhouse turntable for a four-day event. Streamliners at Spencer included the Class J 611 Steam Passenger locomotive, visiting from the Virginia Museum of Transportation; this notable locomotive remained in Spencer for repair and restoration work to allow it to once again pull passenger excursions across the southeast. Annual events include Day Out With Thomas, the Polar Express, Fire Truck Show, Automobile shows, A Tractor Show, the Harvest Festival, the Easter Bunny Express, Valentine Wine and Dine trains, the new Brew and Choo Beer Train; the NCTM is host to Boy Scout Rail Camp, which allows for Boy Scouts and Leaders to camp out on the historic facility and earn the railroading merit badge.

Thomas Gray, C. B. entered into the British Board of Trade as a boy clerk in 1851, becoming Head of the Maritime Department by 1869, a position he held for over 20 years, becoming interested in everything related to ships and seafaring. In 1867, as assistant secretary, he wrote a pamphlet entitled "The Rule of the Road" known as "The Rules in Rhyme", which became famous for its well-known mnemonic verses. E.g. Aids to Memory in Four Verses Two Steam Ships meeting; when both side-lights you see ahead — Port your helm and show your RED. Two Steam Ships passing. GREEN to GREEN – or, RED to RED — Perfect safety – go ahead! Two Steam Ships crossing. Note. – This is the position of greatest danger. If to your starboard RED appear, It is your duty to keep clear, but when upon your Port is seen A Steamer's Starboard Light of GREEN, There's not so much for you to do, For GREEN to Port keeps clear of you. All Ships must keep a good look-out, Steam Ships must stop and go astern, if necessary. Both in safety and in doubt Always keep a good look-out.

According to Charles Dickens, Jr. Thomas Gray either owned or at the least operated a little steam launch going by the name of Midge as a hobby. "Midge." – A handsome little steam launch, a special hobby of Mr. Thomas Gray, of the Board of Trade, employed, under the able command of Captain Pitman, R. N. in the suppression of crimps and lodging-house "runners," the two most rapacious and venomous descriptions of vermin by which the Jack of other days was preyed upon. The Midge under a recent provision, boards all homeward-bound vessels on their way up the river, offers to any of the crew who may be desirous of proceeding straight home without waiting for their pay, a ticket to the desired destination, with a sufficient advance to sustain them on the way, the balance of their wages being sent after them from the Merchant Shipping Office in the East India-Road; the Midge's headquarters are at Gravesend, where is a branch Merchant Shipping Office, of which Captain Pitman is the superintendent. The Midge is one of the smartest little craft upon the river, is one of Jack's best and most practical friends.

A variant of this poem was featured in "The Donkeyman's Widow" by Guy Gilpatric, a Glencannon story which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, 29 January 1938. He was buried at West Norwood Cemetery; the Marine Society awards medals each year to recognise "deeds of professional merit" in relation to any aspect of seafaring
