Station building when in use for trains was on the southern side of the level crossing, as marked on the attached rail plan, while the same station building now used as a shop.

Stoker's , 1/8/1986 - at this stage the old station was already a shop but had not yet been turned away from the line.

Stokers, near Murwillumbah, was rearranged in the 1990s. The level crossing was shifted from the north side to the south side. This straightened the junction with Smiths Creek Rd to Uki. The old format had the road to Uki crossing the line then doing a dog leg on its way west. The new format has the road to Uki crossing the line then straight out of Stokers to Uki. Old format in 1991 aerial and new in 1997 aerial. The attached has 1991 and present day Google image.

The attached image shows the station, not the rails, was moved back. Rails in bitumen level crossing show rail's original alignment.
