Text

(a)Every railroad company may construct its railroad across any stream, water course, road, highway, railroad, or canal that it intersects in a manner that does not interfere with the free use of the road. The railroad company shall restore the stream or water course, road, highway, or canal intersected to its former state.

(b)When the track crosses a highway, the crossing may be at grade or the highway may be carried under or over the track. If an embankment or cutting makes a change in the line of the highway desirable, the railroad company may take additional lands for the construction of the highway or new line. When land is taken, it becomes a part of the highway. Formerly: Acts 1905, c.167, s.35. As amended by P.L.86-1988, SEC.180.
