I don't think anyone is saying it is the railroad's "fault".I'm saying that the railroad likely knows about this situation and has an opportunity to do something good for the convenience and safety of their customers. Building an overpass or underpass doesn't just serve the commuters on the 9:03 either. Given the set-up Mitch described, I expect that every train arriving during the PM rush has people crowded into the front car so that once the doors open they can dash to the end of the platform, duck under the gates and get to their car without having to wait for the train to start up and then clear the crossing. It happens at East Rockaway, Oceanside and Island Park on the Long Beach branch (which have similar configurations), so I can't imagine that it isn't happening at Cedarhurst. With an overpass at these stations, there would be no need for such behavior. |
