The trolley tracks in the station form a loop, nicknamed the Angora Loop, so that trains can enter westbound and depart eastbound. The loop circles around a Caribbean barbecue restaurant; it is across US 13 from a local playground as well as the Cobbs Creek Trail across 61st Street.
The Angora Loop lies a few blocks west of the Angora Regional Railroad Station, which serves the SEPTA Media/Elwyn Line. No direct connection between the two systems are available at this stop, however.
