Facilities
The station consisted of little more than a station building with a small canopy and single platform. The station master's house was situated at the rear of the station.[1] The station had a signal box from 1896 until June 1931 when it was taken out of use and replaced with two ground frames. There was also a cattle loading dock.[1]
