There is a comprehensive maintenance yard on the northeast side of the station. Because of that, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of trains and large equipment, the station has a one-way connecting line to the former Xiegang Station on the Beijing–Kowloon railway.[2]
History
The station is named Lilin during the planning and construction stage and was changed to Lilin North at the end of 2015.[3]
