§ 37.240. Two railroad companies may have right-of-way over same passes; change and expense of reconstruction of public highway

Any railroad company whose right-of-way, or whose track or roadbed upon such right-of-way

passes through any canyon, pass or defile, shall not prevent any other railroad company

from the use or occupancy of such canyon, pass or defile for the purposes of its road,

in common with the road first located, or the crossing of other railroads at grade;

and the location of such right-of-way through any canyon, pass or defile shall not

cause the disuse of any public highway now located therein, nor prevent the location

through the same of any such highway where such highway may be necessary for the public

accommodation; and where any change in the location of such highway is necessary

to permit the passage of such railroad through any canyon, pass or defile, the railroad

company shall, before entering upon the ground occupied by such highway, cause the

same to be reconstructed at its own expense in the most favorable location, and in

as perfect a manner as the original highway. Such expenses shall be equitably divided between any number of railroad companies

occupying and using the same canyon, pass or defile.
