In addition to a station building, Bjorli had a water tower, roundhouse, turntable and a restaurant seating 700 people, the latter which was bombed to pieces in 1940.

The station is served by SJ Norge trains four times per day per direction.

The station, excluding its water tower and restaurant, cost 117,062 Norwegian krone (NOK) to build and took 26,883 man-hours.

[3] The station is located in a wide, flat terrain, so getting sufficient pressure to supply water for the steam locomotives would be very expensive.

Open only during summer until September, it was aimed at cruise ship tourists who took the line from Åndalsnes to Bjorli.

[12] The line lacks centralized traffic control,[13] so the station must be staffed for trains to pass.

[14] The station has three tracks: two which are used for trains to pass and one which is designed for loading, and has an effective length of 75 meters (246 ft).
