This was a single platform station, the platform being on the north side.

There was a goods yard at the east end of the station and on the north side of the line. The came off a loop and was served from the east. The signal box was at the east end of the station, south of the line.

The loop was later used as the start for the branch to Dollar Mine.

There was a small station building on the platform and a wooden shelter extended down from the station house.

The next station west was Tillicoultry and east Rumbling Bridge [2nd]. The line to the east was particularly difficult to build.

Despite closing to passengers in 1964 the line remained open to Dollar Mine. The signal box closed in 1967 and coal trains continued until 1973, running west to Alloa Marshalling Yard.

The platform remains intact and the trackbed is now a footpath.

To the east was the Dollar Mine.
