The railroad soon switched to locomotive-hauled, purchasing two locomotives built in Baltimore, Maryland.

The introduction of the locomotive service helped spur building construction and development in the area around Boiling Springs.

The increased demand led the railroad to build a new station and ticket office as they bought land in the area to speculate on future development.

The Erie Railroad which acquired the P&HR constructed a depot that was triangular in design made out of brick.

The station building has been listed in the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and National Register of Historic Places since 1984 and is part of the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Resource.
