There is no restroom, nor any plumbing of any kind. The other half, equally small, has signaling and communications equipment in it, and a very old schematic of the Huntington interlocking (likely original).<br /><br />Regarding the DirecTV, if it means that the employees are happier and I'm not paying for it, I see no harm in it.Ben Schuminhttp://www.schuminweb.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-29001631750624133262010-05-18T13:25:25.250-04:002010-05-18T13:25:25.250-04:00Share with the riders!

For what we're going to be paying, metro should have personal entertainment units on the backs of all the seats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-55906178694999783942010-05-18T13:20:08.795-04:002010-05-18T13:20:08.795-04:00I ride to/from Huntington everyday, and if any sta...I ride to/from Huntington everyday, and if any station is rather pleasant, it's that station. Great view, pleasant breezes, plenty of parking, and the employees are above average (although with ATU local 689 that's not saying much). If DirecTV helps make the system a pleasant place to work and rubs off to our rider experience, go for it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-35662343725196257172010-05-18T12:34:16.281-04:002010-05-18T12:34:16.281-04:00Excuse me if I don't believe this.
