Amtrak used a small shelter near the abandoned station building

The Ethan Allen Express began service between New York City's Penn Station and Rutland on December 2, 1996.[2] It was the first passenger service on the line between Whitehall and Rutland since 1934.[3][4] An infill station was opened at Fair Haven on November 12, 1997.[1]

The station building, originally built by the Delaware and Hudson Railway, was in poor condition and was not available for passenger use. Instead, Amtrak passengers used a small bus shelter located across the street from the building.

Fair Haven is a small town with limited tourist activity; in fiscal year 2007 the station served just 2,205 passengers.[5] In January 2010, Fair Haven station was replaced with Castleton station, Script error: No such module "convert". to the east, which better serves Castleton University and Lake Bomoseen. Castleton station opened on January 2; Fair Haven remained in use until January 9.[6]
