• Ch. 1: Incorporation of Railroad Companies

Text

Whenever the track of such railroad shall cross
a road or highway, such road or highway may be carried under or over
the track, as may be most expedient; and in cases where an
embankment or cutting shall make a change in the line of such road or
highway desirable, with a view to a more easy ascent or descent, the
rail carrier may take such additional lands for the construction of such
road or highway, or such new line, as may be deemed requisite by said
directors. Unless the lands so taken shall be purchased or voluntarily
given for the purposes aforesaid, compensation therefor shall be
ascertained, in the manner in this chapter provided, as nearly as may
be, and duly made by the rail carrier to the owners and persons
interested in such lands; and the same, when so taken and
compensation made, to become part of such intersecting road or
highway, in such manner and by such terms as the adjacent parts of
such highway may be held for highway purposes.
