Fair Haven was an Amtrak intercity train station in Fair Haven, Vermont. The station closed on January 9, 2010, and a new stop was added 5 miles (8.0 km) miles to the east in Castleton, Vermont.[2]

The station building itself, which was originally built by the Delaware and Hudson Railway is abandoned and sealed. A small bus stop-like shelter was used instead by Amtrak passengers. Since there was no operational station building, there was a little stepping stool that passengers used to get on and off the trains.
