[edit] Walkway
I modified the sentence on the walkway based on personal experience.
When the Newport Mall opened in November 1987, I started going there from NYC and the walkway was still in place. I had always wondered what it was there for and why it didn't work. At the time the side platform was still in original condition and basically abandoned.
As the mid-1990s came around there was a surge in building of residential and office buildings in the area (still is in 2007). That is when the PA decided (or was forced possibly) to refurbish the entire station (including the side platform). The walkway was removed during this time.
Now that I am older and work in the area I wish the walkway was still in place and working - that ramp can wear you out.
