Moorhouse and South Elmsall Halt was a

and Wrangbrook Junction, where the Wath branch joined the main line. The single storey station building, on the Wath-bound platform was, unlike the others on the line, built of brick with a slate roof. The other platform had just a simple waiting room for the few passengers who used the station. The platform surfaces were gravel and stone edged. The station master's house, of a standard Hull and Barnsley style, was situated a road level by the underbridge.

Opening day was on 28 August 1902 and the station closed, along with the others on the line, on 6 April 1929.

To the north of the station a spur connecting this line to the West Riding and Grimsby Railway at Hampole diverged.
