Like nearly all non-interchange stations on the Metro, there are two tracks: trains using track E1 head to Greenbelt (Green & Yellow Lines), while those on E2 are bound for Branch Avenue (Green) or Huntington (Yellow). This station was among the last to feature the 22-coffer "waffle" ceiling vault design.
