Since Erie is an express station, it has four tracks and two central platforms, with express and Ridge Spur trains operating on the inner tracks and local trains operating on the outer tracks. This station has two mezzanine levels located above the track level. One is an entrance/exit mezzanine which holds turnstiles and the payment booth, while the other is exit-only. The station is located near the former Luzerne Depot, a former trolley barn which became an all bus garage, and is now a cardboard recycling plant.[2]
As of 2007, Erie station had approximately 6,842 boardings a day, making it the fourth busiest station on the line.[3]
There is a flying junction north of Erie Station; originally built for the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway, it served as the northbound terminus for the Broad-Ridge Spur until service was extended to Fern Rock.
