Station layout
This station features a single side platform alongside two tracks but does not meet the requirements set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Facilities include parking areas on both sides of the platform and a waiting room equipped with restroom amenities. Pedestrian access across the tracks is controlled by two railroad crossing signs with flashing yellow lights. Although there are two tracks present, only one is utilized for passenger train operations. Additionally, Lincoln Park contains a dispatcher-controlled siding of approximately - in length that runs through the station; this siding was previously used for train meets before midday service was discontinued and no longer accommodates revenue trains.
