The railroad considers public safety and that of its employees to be paramount concerns and must consider the risks related to these concerns in any conveyance of a railroad building or structure. The railroad, therefore, requires that any building or structure situated within 50 feet of the centerline of an operating track be removed – at no cost to the railroad – from railroad land and relocated to non-railroad-owned land.

We are unable to provide research services or data on such properties. These title questions may be answered by search of local county records, use of a title company, or by contacting a real estate attorney to examine the title.
