Although most of the Blue Island Branch contains only one track, there are two tracks at West Pullman, making it a [[Passing loop|passing siding]]. The only other station along the branch that has two tracks is the terminus at [[Blue Island (Metra)|Blue Island]] itself. One parking lot exists on the north side of the tracks along the southbound lane of Halsted Street. Due to its close proximity to the outskirts of Chicago, the station provides bus connections from both the [[Chicago Transit Authority]] and [[Pace (transit)|Pace]] suburban bus system.
A station typology adopted by the Chicago Plan Commission on October 16, 2014, assigns the West Pullman station a typology of ''Mixed Residential/Industrial Neighborhood'' (MRIN). This typology is an area in which the Metra station serves both residential and industrial uses. Like most of the MRIN stations, the does not have access to CTA rail.<ref name="METRA Typology">{{cite web|author=Teska Associates, Inc., Fish Transportation Group, and OKW Architects|title=City of Chicago & METRA Station Typology Study|date=October 16, 2014|publisher=[[Regional Transportation Authority (Illinois)|Regional Transportation Authority]]|location=[[Chicago]]|accessdate=January 15, 2020|url=https://www.chicago.gov/content/dam/city/depts/dcd/supp_info/industrial/Metra_Typology_Study.pdf}}</ref>
