A staircase is located near the southern end of the platform. A ramp (with a steps located to cut-off some of the switchbacks) is at the northern end of the platform. At the northern end of the outbound platform is a wooden pedestrian crossing to the middle track where one door of a train on the middle track could stop. Station passenger amenities are minimal. The Inbound platform has 1, the outbound platform 2, small gabled roof canopy structures painted brown with wooden windscreens in the middle of them.
