The railway station building is a Victorian structure made of stone masonry and surrounded by the Manglot Mountain Range. The station is located near the iron-girder Attock Bridge, built in 1883, which connects Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab.[2]
Special train excursions have operated to this station.[1][3][4]
Only a few trains stop at the station, even though it is on the main Karachi-Peshawar-Karachi line. That has been said to be due to few passengers using the station.[2]
The main access to the station is a road that branches off via G.T. Road, which is six kilometres away.[2]
