Brain Boulevard Railway Station

Description

Brain Boulevard Railway Station is a rail station in Old Arkham, located on the Malton Rail/Green Line between Cradock and Cockburn stations.

History

Despite it's title the station seems to be devoid of any sort of common sense in it's design with obtuse walkways that weaved about unnecessarily and contained lots of wide oddly sloping floors making setting up anything inside a hassle. Newspaper sellers couldn't set stands up because the papers and magazines would tend to shift. The same was true for any vendors of items found commonly in other stations, making even finding a cup of coffee difficult, let alone a place to sit and drink it since benches were very sparse. Placed smack in the middle of Old Arkham with three other stations quite nearby the conductors used to joke about the lack of forethought put into this stop.

After the Zombie Apocalypse set in, as railways stations proved frustrating for foragers looking for useful items, this station's architectural quirks would prove useful. Survivors being chased by zombies would run into the station and gain some much needed levity and amusement watching zombies attempt to shamble up the sloped walkways with some difficulty only to frequently fall over themselves when lured onto paths going downhill. The Undead would be frequently frustrated at the lack of "Brain" in this station which their feeble minds could still read from the letters etched in the stonework outside.
