Manned station on the Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line .
Station, passing and goods loops with a stockyard siding, a Loco water/coaling facility and a turning WYE.
Paratoo was the only location on the line with a dedicated signal box.
Broken Hill is 236km (147mi) to the North-East.
After the conversion of the line to standard gauge (1969-70) all loops, sidings and facilities were removed from Paratoo. There is now little visible evidence of its original role or importance.
