Every person owning or operating an elevated railroad shall provide and equip all station platforms, which are used in connection with the operation of such railroad, with a top or roof of incombustible material and with storm enclosures of glass or other suitable material on three sides thereof, so that the patrons or passengers of such elevated railroad may be protected from inclement weather while waiting for trains. Provided, however, that the provisions relating to said storm enclosures of station platforms shall not apply to the platforms which are commonly known as island platforms and where more than one side of such platforms is used for the purpose of receiving or discharging passengers. All such platforms commonly called island platforms, and platforms where more than one side thereof are used for the purpose of receiving or discharging passengers, shall be provided with storm enclosures of glass or other suitable material at each end of same, and shall also be provided with a longitudinal partition running down the middle of such platforms the entire length thereof. Such partitions shall extend from the platforms to the roof and connect with the storm enclosures at each end of such platform, and shall be provided with sufficient openings to permit passage by persons from one side to another. Such enclosures and partitions shall be provided during the months of November, December, January, February and March of each year.
