Rotterdam Blaak Station Closed for Wooden Sleeper Replacement due to Damage from Urine Discharge

Rotterdam Blaak station, in the center of the Dutch port city, is closed all week because the wooden sleepers under the tracks need to be replaced. According to infrastructure manager ProRail, the wood of the sleepers has shrunk due to, among other things, urine that used to be discharged onto the tracks from the train toilets.
