The wooden clapboard station building has been demolished once at the site has been demolished. It has since been replaced with a simple metal shelter with a bench inside (sometimes derisively called an "Amshack") with train information posted on a sign outside. There is no platform at this station, trains stop at a paved vehicle crossing where passengers board.
