The station is little more than a platform between the tracks over a bridge with street-level connections. It is the last station along the main branch of the line before Kensington Station, where the Blue Island Branch and Main Branch split. No parking is available at the station, however there is a connection to two of the Chicago Transit Authority's bus routes.

The station was reconstructed with a waiting shelter, custom signage, and a total makeover to attract more passengers to the nearby Pullman National Monument.
