  Ropes Creek station was of weatherboard construction, commonly used at the time by the NSWGR. It had a 40 lever frame to operate signals and points. It had a waiting room and toilet facilities. At the foot of the stairs, a small weatherboard structure was provided for station staff to stand in while tickets were collected. In June 2011, the station building was destroyed by fire.
  There is now a notice at the southern end of the site indicating that an historical centre may be erected.
