It was taken from the stairs down to the ballast near the platform (you can see them near the end).

what's the point of having this station? it's just one tiny platform.

It's to serve the nearby hiking trailheads, so people can come up from the city and hike on weekends without having to drive

so which car do they have to be on? the platform can only hold one car

My guess is that when they let the conductor know they want to get off there, he tells the engineer where to stop, or tells them which car to be in.

well then they need to know well in advance since these trains need a good distance to stop

Yes, you're supposed to let the conductor know at the previous station (Cold Spring) on the way up. On the way down, they come through slow on weekend afternoons.
