This station is located at the intersection of the New England Thruway and Westchester Avenue . The side platforms, which are no longer used, may have been used for unloading passengers, with the centre platform used for loading. At the south end is a staff-only crossover bridge between the centre and west side platform. It also used to connect to the east side platform but has been removed. At the north end of the platforms are the track bumper blocks and a crew quarters area. There is also a tower and crew quarters at the south end. Fare control is in the tile mezzanine.
