Facilities used to be rather minimal, but recent renovations by the MTA have given it similar amenities to other stations along the line: decorative lights, a longer platform roof and an elevated mini-high platform at the east end of the station for access by riders in wheelchairs. Parking is no longer free. A permit/meter system like those at other stations has been instituted.
Station layout
This station has two tracks and a low-level side platform with a pathway connecting the platform to the bypass track. The station is where the Erie's Montgomery Branch once intersected the Graham Line and where the former Wallkill Valley Railroad connects to the mainline via an active wye. The Middletown and New Jersey Railroad still runs freight operations up to customers in Maybrook, Montgomery, and the end of the tracks in Walden with its recent takeover of local freight operations from Norfolk Southern. A small yard for the freight carrier, with unused stock stored along several sidings, is located at and just west of the station.
