Westcraigs Station is situated to the N of Station Road, W of Harthill Road.
The down platform survives as does the station house. In addition the goods platform still stands at the W end of the station and the remains of a brick and stone built passenger shelter survives on the up platform.
The station house is stone built and has modern tiles on the roof. It has been modernised and is occupied.
The cast iron road overbridge carrying the track to Standhill Farm and Millbank Cottages still stands about 83m W of the end of the platform.
The station is depicted on the OS 25-inch map (Lanarkshire 1898, sheet ix), which shows that the main station buildings including the station house were on the S side of the main line with two small roofed structures on the N side (up) platform. The goods yard with goods platform was to the SW.
