Taking on Escalators

Only in New Jersey do you get to a NJ Transit rail-road station and find that the only escalator from the platform up to the main corridor runs down.
If you only have one escalator at your disposal why in hell would you have it run down especially at the station serving the airport where everybody has huge heavy bags which they now have to schlep up a huge set of stairs. Now I realize that there is an elevator but you have to be some kind of 250 pound chick to ever consider that option. I am not saying we need to embrace laziness and I will often take the stairs even if an escalator is available but I'd like to at least have that option open to me.
