Burlington South is the park and ride station for the town of Burlington. The station has two-tracks and two-side platforms. The station is located right near the start of a double-tracked section of track that begins right after the median running portion of the line through the center of Burlington. This double-track section continues almost as far south as the next stop south at Beverly/Edgewater Park.
The station is also notable for being just south of the entrance to the Burlington-Bristol Bridge across the Delaware River with a toll charged for all cars crossing to Pennsylvania exclusively and the small toll plaza visible from passing trains. The Northeast Corridor is just two miles across the Delaware River from this River LINE station, although the nearest stop in Bristol is more than 3 miles away.
The station's two platforms are connected by pedestrian grade-crossings at either end of them allowing passengers to access entrances accessible from each platform. The Trenton-bound platform is along Broad Street with a variety of parking spaces and drop off areas along the street with entrances at both ends of the platform. There are some decommissioned railroad crossing signal equipment as part of the interpretative panels at multiple River LINE stations, titled "Look Listen, Live: Evolution of the Grade Crossing."
The Camden-bound platform has two paths that lead north from the rear, eastern end of this platform to the station's 368 space Parking Lot. This parking lot is exclusively accessed from its northern side with multiple entrances from Veterans Drive.
