Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Railway track construction | | German term or phrase: Auflassung (von Bahnübergängen) | | In legal texts, I think "Auflassung" means something like "conveyancing", but in the context of a railway infrastructure measure, alongside e.g. introduction of electronic interlocking, could it mean "closure" or "abandonment" of a level crossing? The legal concept doesn't seem to fit. |

15 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +2 decommissioning (of level crossings)
Explanation:
Apparently the word "Auflassung" can also mean "Stellegung". In that case, perhaps it means "decommissioning" in this context.
"Synopsis

requirements for the design,
construction, inspection, maintenance,

In US English, a "Bahnübergang" is called a "grade crossing".
