The station is located on Marconi Boulevard and Great Neck Road (Suffolk County Road 47), one block north of Oak Street (Suffolk County Road 12). Copiague Station was originally built in 1902, and was rebuilt with temporary high level platforms for the M1s in 1967. The original station was replaced with the current elevated station which opened on August 7, 1973. It is one of the few railroad stations along the Babylon Branch west of Patchogue that was not originally built by the South Side Railroad of Long Island.

Platform and tracks
The station has one 10-car-long high-level island platform between the two tracks.
Belmont Junction
The South Side Railroad of Long Island once had another station in Copiague to the East called Belmont Junction, which was in service between 1873 and 1885.[2] It is not known if the LIRR built Copiague Station as a replacement for Belmont Junction, but it has served as one.
