[edit] Platforms and tracks
There are two platforms, Platform A and Platform B. Generally, Platform A is used for westbound trains and Platform B for eastbound trains. Track 1, which is accessible from Platform A, is used mostly for diesel trains that terminate or originate from Hicksville, and occasionally freight trians. Track 2 is located between platforms A and B, but trains rarely open their doors to Platform B. Track 2 is usually used for westbound trains to Penn Station, Flatbush Avenue station, or the other New York terminals. Track 3 is used for eastbound trains, except on weekday mornings when there are some westbound trains.
