Kind of fractured in a way, but I see what you’re trying to formulate. I’m confused about who the “observer” might be. I would like to suggest you try making the benches the observers, missing the gossip and passengers sleeping on them and then getting torn out, or something along those lines; make the benches speak for you, it might come easier, right now, it seems that you are trying to hard to explain to the reader how the benches feel, become a bench.
You might want to change sped past to sped by and reckage to wreckage. Your idea is great, a nice scene, but I think a little work could make it a really good piece. Send me a note if you make changes.
