This station, or what is left of it, was built before the turn of the 20th century, though I can not find any information of its actual construction - not even on site, where there are many plaques, none of which dedicated to the incredible history nor importance of the railroads that essentially led to Morgantown's rise. Rather, the plaques boast about council members and politicians who made possible, the conversion of the railroad's ROW and station into a public "green space" and meeting center.

Contemporary times have completely transformed the image of Morgantown. The immediate connotation is that of West Virginia University and the environment and affiliations of a college town.

This station, which appears in a map dated 1897, was built for the Fairmont, Morgantown & Pittsburgh, though also saw trains from the Morgantown & Kingwood Railroad Company which branched off from the FM&P at the station. Both lines were acquired by the B&O, with the mainline operating into CSX as the FM&P Sub. Most of corridor was abandoned in the early 1990s, following a rockslide that the railroad elected not to repair.
