§ 35-27-18 — Construction lien on railway contracts obtainable

Every person that furnishes any labor, skill, or material for constructing, altering, or repairing
any line of railway, or any improvement or structure appertaining to any line of railway by virtue
of any contract with the owner, or the owner's agent, contractor, or subcontractor authorized in
writing to contract for the owner, has a lien upon the line of railway and the right of way of the
railway, and upon all bridges, depots, offices, and other structures appertaining to the line of
railway, and all franchises, privileges, and immunities granted to the legal or equitable owner of
the line of railway for the construction and operation of the railway, to secure the payment for
the labor, skill, and materials, upon recording a lien, within ninety days from the last day of the
month in which the labor or material was furnished, but a failure to record within the ninety days
does not defeat the lien except to the extent specified in section 35-27-14.
