Deskripsyon

The Train Tracks at this intersection leading from Brewer into Bangor have begun to separate and lift. I don't believe it's bad enough to cause a derailment, however if a vehicle hit it at the right angle, they could easily damage the undercarriage of their vehicle and even possibly pop a tire, it has a very thick, sharp edge. This damage has been progressing for a few years now, why it's not been repaired YET is beyond me. It NEEDS to be fixed. Please!

You are absolutely right Christal. The city of Brewer has been trying and trying to get the railroad to fix that crossing. It has and continues to be a major struggle. The railroad is one of the most difficult outfits to work with. The city has tried to deal with that rubber-ized crossing, but it has become very serious. I will once again alert City hall about this issue, and hopefully, the railroad will wake up.

It seems that the responsibility for maintaining the crossing is tossed like a hot coal from the City to the State to the railroad company to the USDOT. Everyone seems to think that "the other guy" should bear the cost. The Federal Railroad Administration has some information:

Perhaps one of our Congressional reps should be involved.
