Two level crossings were restored in Jokioinen Museum Railway at the end of September. Crossing of railway and new road leading to stone crushing plant was repaired in 28.9. Kiipuntie road and railway crossing next to Minkiö station was repaired in 29.9.
Humppila stone crushing plant level crossing was restored for the first time in the spring, when the low level truck trailer accidentally tore off the rails. During the summer the rails began to sink because of the continuous and heavy truck traffic. Now the rail element made in spring was lifted off and soft sand basement was dug off and replaced with much heavier stone rubble. Finally the rail element was installed back, the spaces between rails were filled with rubble and a new asphalt surface was spread on the road and level crossing.
At Minkiö the railway crosses with busy Kiipuntie road. In level crossing the old wood planks between rails did not last for heavy trucks and agricultural machines and they began to sink and loose. Level crossing is repaired by removing the old planks lane at a time and filling the spaces between the rails with sand and asphalt. So the road traffc was able to run during entire work.
