Here, a wooden platform with benches sits high above a stretch of wooded hills, a spot built for travelers to pause and take in the view. Scenic overlooks like this were often laid out near railroad lines and depots, when rail companies promoted mountain and countryside scenery to passengers and tourists. Such platforms gave riders a place to stretch their legs between trains or to enjoy the landscape from above the tracks. Look at how the benches face the valley, which shows how the builders planned the space around the view rather than around the trains themselves.
