When the New York and Harlem Railroad began building their line through the Taconic Mountains towards Chatham in 1851, Coleman's was recommended as a freight only station by local entrepreneur Amasa Coleman, and landowner Oliver Barrett in order to take up a service overflow from Sharon and Millerton Stations. The station which was established in 1852 operated primarily as a freight stop throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, but began accepting passengers by the late 1950s. As with the rest of the Harlem Line it became a Penn Central station when NYC merged with their longtime rival Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968. Penn Central ended all passenger service north of Dover Plains on March 20, 1972 and the station resumed its freight only status until March 27, 1980 when Conrail abandoned service on that segment of the line.[2]
