Station layout

This station has one low-level side platform to the east of the track. The station is owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT), but Metro-North is responsible for maintaining platform lighting, trash, and snow removal. There is a parking lot with 50 parking spaces managed by the city of Ansonia.{{cite web|url=http://www.ct.gov/dotinfo/lib/dotinfo/ctgov/FinalParkingReport.pdf |title=Task 2: Technical Memorandum parking Inventory and Utilization: Final Report |author=Urbitran Associates Inc. |at="Table 1: New haven Line Parking Capacity and Utilization", page 6 |date=July 2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070712022905/http://www.ct.gov/dotinfo/lib/dotinfo/ctgov/FinalParkingReport.pdf |archive-date=July 12, 2007 |url-status=dead }}
