The station was moved to its current location in 1902 due to trains overshooting it at its previous location due to too much slope; the entire town of Fossil moved along with the station. It is located about .4 mi. WNW of the junction of US 30 and County Rd. 300. The station is a 24 by 80 feet (7.3 m × 24.4 m) variation on the standard Union Pacific 24x64 plan, expanded to be longer in 1902 after the move. A Western Union Telegraph office was located in the station, in addition to the depot having a passenger area, a freight storage area, and living quarters for the station master and his family.[2]
The listing also includes an outhouse/coal storage outbuilding.[2]
