While Metra gives the address as 475 East Northwest Highway, the main parking area is across the tracks and is only accessible from East Golf Road between a Union Pacific freight line crossing, and the intersection of Wolf and Seeger Roads, where East Golf Road turns under both the UP-NW Line and Northwest Highway. Along Northwest Highway itself, there is some parking along the eastbound lane between the State Street-Cornell Avenue intersection and the station house west of the bridge over East Golf Road.

Southeast of this station, the Union Pacific Northwest Line passes through Deval Tower, a three-way junction with the Canadian National Railway's Waukesha Subdivision (used by Metra's North Central Service) and the Union Pacific's "New Line" to Milwaukee.
