Why is it that eastbound trains into Huntington literally crawl the last mile into that station? Unlike at other stations, where the train decelerates from speed just prior to and using the length of the platform, at Huntington it slows down somewhere near Oakwood Road and does maybe 12 mph all the way into the station. Riding the train is fun but being forced to sit through a five minute approach to the platform, at the end of a long day, does take some of the shine off.
