Station layout

This station has one low-level side platform to the east of the track, long enough for one door of one car to receive and discharge passengers.

The station is owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, but Metro-North is responsible for maintaining platform lighting, trash, and snow removal.[1] There is a parking lot with 50 parking spaces[3] managed by the city of Ansonia.[1]
