It has parking for 885 cars. The station is located on a siding that leads off the 2 track main line. The siding continues to a layover yard.

Amtrak's Cardinal, Crescent and Northeast Regional pass next to the station, but do not stop.

The station opened in 1992 with the inauguration of the line. On March 17, 2017, the VRE Operations Board voted to expand the Broad Run station instead of an extension to Haymarket. This might include relocating the station, as well as expanding the rail yard and parking facilities. The expansion proposition had been shelved due to cost.{{cite news|title=Plans for VRE Expansion to Haymarket crumble|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2017/03/17/plans-for-vre-expansion-to-haymarket-crumble/|accessdate=20 March 2017|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=17 March 2017|id={{ProQuest|1878347468}}|last=Lazo|first=Luz|archive-date=19 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170319210929/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2017/03/17/plans-for-vre-expansion-to-haymarket-crumble/|url-status=live}}
