The LIRR was putting in new rail and ties this morning westbound at the Smithtown Station area. Another work train was stationed westbound with about a dozen ballast cars at St James. today Sunday June 2nd.

The rubber crossing was wearing out pretty bad, so I'm glad they replaced it with concrete. I drive over that crossing every day and its better than it was. And IIRC when they did Elwood Rd about 4 years ago, they put the crossing in first and went back and repaved the approach. It's still holding up good over there.
