      Notice a couple things here...the awkward shape of the train, the absence of any shelter (in a state with snowy winters!!), the concrete...

      Fitchburg is a local bus hub--odd choice of bus bay layouts here...and as usual, waaay too much concrete. Sterile and bleak!pic.twitter.com/7sAgHgwXcW

          Station building as an afterthought, NEXT to tracks instead of surrounding them, is all too common in American commuter rail...

          I visited this station with @NightErrantry, we found that the walkways are not actually enclosed: their walls are 100% porous

          Consequently, you are exposed to bitter winds *even when you're inside the walkway.* Which, I might add, is prone to getting covered in ice.

          In other words: the station building is not for anybody who's actually using the station. Folks...I am at a loss for words...

          How hard is it to build a roof over your platforms anyway?
