. When built, the station was on the northern side of the village. The village has now grown further north so the station is now in the centre. Arnemuiden was basically furnished and consisted only of a station and a small goods shed. In 1877 the yard was extended with a freight siding. The cargo consisted mainly of outgoing fish, shrimp and sugar beet, and receiving coal and food. Until the 1960s, little changed in the yard. In the sixties the sidings gradually fell into disuse. In 1969 they were decommissioned. Since the end of the 1970s, the village has also expanded to the other side of the railway.

There are bicycle lockers and two unguarded bicycle parking facilities. There is parking for cars.
