The station was built with the platforms nearly a foot higher than the floor level of the coaches. The southbound track was raised prior to the station opening. I assume the Conrail MOW is smoothing out the transition between the station level and the level coming off the bridge.
The northbound track still needs to be raised. My northbound train made the station stop on the southbound track. People who arrived on the two previous northbound trains said the crews nearly soiled themselves when they saw the huge step up from the train to the platform. By the time of the third train's arrival, the dispatcher apparently had been made aware of the fiasco and routed northbound trains to the southbound platform.
