The station has two high-level side platform platforms each eight cars long. The west one is generally used by southbound trains while the east one is generally used by northbound trains.

The station has five tracks here. The west platform is between Tracks 4 and 6, but only Track 4 carries Metro-North passenger trains. (Track 6 is not powered and used by freight trains.) The east platform is next to Track 3. The two inner tracks not next to either platform are used by express trains, including Amtrak's Empire Service. The outer tracks are used for Croton Harmon locals.

Both platforms are canopied full length and have a ramp at their extreme north ends that lead to a passageway at track level (fences separating them from the tracks) before a staircase goes up to Ludlow Street, which crosses above the line. Ticket vending machines are on this overpass. The northbound platform's walkway is part of the sidewalk of Abe Cohen Plaza, a turn-around street that also serves as the station's parking lot.
