Platforms and Tracks
This station has two high-level side platforms, each 12 cars long. The Port Jefferson Branch has two tracks at this location (main track and siding). All trains, however, use the southernmost track (facing the college) with the exception of one evening westbound train originating from Stony Brook, which uses the northernmost track.

“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.”
