The platform was on the west side of the line, with a dirt mound and the foundations of the signal box remaining today. A water tower is located at the Seymour end of the station, and a 725 metre long loop siding is located across from the former platform, which is usable as a crossing loop.^[4] The junction for the line to Echuca faces Seymour, and is located on the Shepparton end of the level crossing.
