Concrete station waiting benches

[hanc...@bbs.cpcn.com]

The Harrison station has concrete benches for psgrs waiting for a
train. They were extremely uncomfortable.

First, the concrete was cold. Second, the bench was L shaped, not a
natural shape. Third, being concrete they were extremely hard and
unyielding.

I don't know if these were peculiar to Harrison only or used at other
MNRR stations. I hope not.

I suppose they're that way to be vandal resistant and durable and
deter sleeping by vagrants. But other carriers have good seats that
are more comfortable yet strong.
