Northglenn/112th station is located on the west side of York Street, north of 112th Avenue.[4] It is situated at the far eastern edge of Northglenn. The neighborhood across the street from the station lies in Thornton, and the N Line quickly re-enters Thornton in both directions. The station only features a single platform and a single track, as the former Union Pacific right-of-way used by the N Line was not double-tracked as a part of its construction.

During the construction of the station, a trestle bridge spanning 209 feet was unearthed. The bridge dated back to 1909 and was backfilled by Union Pacific in 1951. Upon its discovery in 2016, it was deemed to be not of historical value and was eventually destroyed.[5]
