Operating costs were shared by New York Central and the U&D, which then discontinued use of the Fair Street Station.
There was also a nearby station for the Colonial City trolley line under the West Shore Railroad tracks.
The U&D went along the north side of the station while the Wallkill and West Shore ran in front (east) of it.
Located near MP 4.0 on the U&D at the time of its construction in 1882, Fair Street Station was near the central business district of Kingston.
The change from Higginsville to Fair Street was the result of an agreement made in 1881 between Thomas Cornell, as president of the railroad company, and a committee of citizens.
A small ticket office and loading platform was placed just east of Westbrook Lane, MP 3.78.
