Opened on the 1st April 1861 as Castleton Railway Station the station was built with 2 platforms as this stretch of the line was constructed with a passing loop, the station also featured a signal box, goods warehouse and yard. These were all lost in the early 1980's. The station was renamed Castleton Moor in March 1965.

The station has limited facilities which include a basic shelter, information boards and a ticket machine. It is unmanned and the former station buildings appear to now be a private residence. In the last full year of stats 4732 people used Castleton Moor at an average of 91 per week. The station is served by 11 trains per day, 5 towards Whitby and 6 in the direction of Middlesborough.
