§ 8-6-1-2 — Requisite information; forms; investigation

The department shall secure from the several
companies owning or operating railroads throughout this state detailed
and specific information concerning the highway crossings along their
lines, outside the corporate limits of cities and incorporated towns in
this state, and, for that purpose, the department shall prepare and
submit to each of such companies blank forms indicating the various
items of information concerning such highway crossings upon which
the department desires to be advised. Such companies shall, within six
(6) months after the receipt of such blank forms by them respectively,
fill out the same with the complete information requested and return to
the department a separate blank form so filled out for each such
highway crossing, accompanied by a photograph of each separate
crossing so described. The department shall then proceed to examine
the conditions of each highway crossing and ascertain which of the
same should, under all the circumstances, be separated, and, to that
end, the department may employ a civil engineer and such expert
assistance as is necessary to make such investigation.
