The Hacket Road crossing in Auburn, Me. has been repaired recently. Just a pavement repair. No evidence rails or ties were repaired.

I forgot to mention the Allied Rd crossing in Auburn was completely redone with a new track panel a couple of Sundays ago

Just how "temporary" is this crossing? The sign looks like it's been there for a pretty long time.

Just a thought, but temporary may mean 'permanent', but held in temporary status for insurance reasons? Seems like it wasn't that long ago that Belgrade camp owners and the railroad had a dispute over private crossings, liability and the insurance bill.
