QUESTION
Does the railroad company have to return crossings to their original state after maintenance?

More details to this question:
The railroad company did maintenance work on several crossings in my area. The ones across main roads were finished, but in cross or side streets, they simply compacted scraps of asphalt back into place. Now to cross without damaging a vehicle, drivers must slow to a crawl when driving across at grade crossings. For one crossing in particular, there are entire sections of the road missing, so that drivers coming from one direction must cross diagonally to avoid a large hole. The mayor's office says that it is not their right of way, but there should to be some law or regulation about

I don't know who owns the right of way or has control. Find out. See if the state highway (DOT) has what you want. You want to find out. If you damage your car as a direct result you may want to make a claim.
