256.140 Owner who erected entire fence may remove half.
Any landowner who has already erected a lawful fence along the whole distance of the
division line between his land and the right-of-way of a railroad may, in the absence of
any agreement to the contrary, move one-half (1/2) of the fence, after giving three (3)
months' notice to the railroad of his intention to move one-half (1/2) of the fence. Notice
shall be served on the nearest station agent. The landowner shall not, in removing such
part of his fence, cause the railroad to erect watergaps or erect fences at points where the
grade of the roadbed is of such character as may render fencing unnecessary.
