In a way it makes perfect sense . A Railroad station adjacent to an active right of way is always at rick of involvement in a derailment or other catastrophic incident. As such, having that structure being used in any capacity outside of railroad control puts the railroad in a precarious position as far as liability . Exposing the railroad to that liability probably makes the legal department @#$%& little green apples . Removing the structure by "Mistake" eliminates the problem and the consumption of Malox in the legal department.
