An Act relating to use of railroad easements.

Summary

It requires railroad corridors to be at least 100 feet wide on each side of the track unless the railroad cannot obtain enough land, and permits rail companies to lease or grant easements for utilities, communications, transmission and other commercial purposes, provided those uses do not block other parallel activities. The bill also bars railroads from selling the entire corridor and ensures that property owners with easements can continue to use their land as long as they do not unreasonably interfere with the railroad’s rights.
