Boorcan was located to the east of the road of the same name. The 1929 track chart of the line showed the platform on the north (up) side of the line, with a three road and goods platform. A short dead end extension was located at the down end.
The station was one of five on the line closed to passenger traffic as part of the 'New Deal' of 1981. The platform mound and loop sidings remain today, but unused. The goods shed and yard is now leased by 'Wheelie Waste', a local rubbish contractor.
