The station served the line heading to Port Jervis northward, along with a stagecoach to Greenwood Lake three times a day.

In 1843, the Sloatsburg station was the site of a large accident by train full of milk bottles.

[9] In the early days of August 1856, a girl by the name of McGraff was injured by an oncoming train near the station after carelessly walking onto the tracks.

The parents, who were in a poor state financially, was given $45 (1856 USD) in return for their troubles from the Board of Directors in nearby Goshen.

The house in the nearby mountainside was built around 1900 as an estate for Nicholas T. Brown, a local alderman from Paterson, New Jersey.

Today, all that remains are the stone pillar entranceway, and a walking trail to the nearby Sloat's Dam.

[13] The gateposts are listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with the remaining mill and dam structures since they used the same stonework.

This would include adding a roof to protect commuters and visitors from the elements, such as rain or snow, handicap-accessible ramps for wheelchairs, better lighting, more seats for people to wait, and a heated shelter.

[15] The station has one track and a short concrete low-level side platform, and is located just south of a grade crossing.
