The station was described as "a flag-stop near Atco ... along the steam line of the Pennsylvania Railroad to Atlantic City, about twenty miles out of Camden."[1] It was at mile 18.4 of the Atlantic City Line from Camden.[2]

Before 1921, the plant Croton glandulosus, sometimes considered an invasive species, was noted "along the railroad above Bishops Bridge" on a bed of "loose cinder railroad-ballast".[1]. Apart from isolated reports from this location and Philadelphia, the plant was not otherwise known north of the U.S. state of Virginia.
