Description

This is a single platform station on the Far North Line. The platform is on the east side of the line. There is a level crossing to the immediate south of the station.

It was formerly a two platform station but the northbound line and platform are out of use. The timber building on the disused northbound platform remains standing. The main station building was on the southbound platform. The straight through line was the northbound line, the southbound the loop. At the north end of the southbound platform was a siding, approached from the south, serving a loading bank.

A water column was provided on the northbound platform.

There were two signal boxes both opened in 1894. The north box, on the east side, was on loading bank north of southbound platform. The south box, on the west side, was by the level crossing at the south end of the northbound platform. The south end of the loop was south of the level crossing.

Both boxes closed in 1966. The northbound loop and siding were taken out and the remaining line straightened.
