Platforms and Tracks
The station has two high-level side platforms each eight cars long. The north platform next to Track 1 is generally used by westbound trains. The south platform next to Track 2 is generally used by eastbound trains. The Montauk Branch has two tracks here, the last such station on the line; all stations from Patchogue east to Montauk have only a single platform, as the double track becomes single track between Sayville and the former Bayport station.

“The tracks of moose, more or less recent, to speak literally, covered every square rod on the sides of the mountain; and these animals are probably more numerous there now than ever before, being driven into this wilderness, from all sides, by the settlements.”
