At the height of rail travel, as many as 10 trains a day stopped at Black Mountain. Horse-drawn buggies and, later, motor car taxis lined up to wait for disembarking passengers to take them to boarding houses, hotels, and religious retreat centers that had sprung up since the coming of the railroad. A freight house stood to the east of the depot. It was damaged, but rebuilt, after a huge fire destroyed many of the buildings along Sutton Avenue in 1912.
