It was constructed on the slope of Belle Ayr Mountain 100 feet above the village along the steep grade running from Big Indian to the summit at Grand Hotel station.
The famous double horseshoe curves on the U&D were located just west of the station.
This station was abandoned after the end of passenger service on the U&D, which occurred on March 31, 1954, and was soon torn down because it was in such bad condition.
In July, 2006, the North American Railcar Operators Association sponsored a track-speeder meet on the Delaware and Ulster Railroad that was extended to Pine Hill: the first rail traffic to reach the station site in nearly 30 years.
The former U&D/NYC tracks are now (2022) permanently out of service, with several major washouts along Esopus Creek, between the Ulster County line at Highmount and a point just east of West Hurley.
