Every railroad company proceeding to construct its road in or through any
county shall file and have recorded at its expense, in the office of the county
clerk of that county, a map of the route showing the center and the width of the
proposed road. If, after the map is filed and recorded, the location or the
proposed route is changed, a map showing the change, and the center and
width thereof, shall be filed and recorded at the expense of the company in the
office of the county clerk of the county in which the change is made.
If the proposed route indicated by the map crosses the line of any other
railroad, the company filing the map shall, before commencing the construction
of the road near the point of crossing, notify the Kentucky Transportation
Cabinet. The cabinet shall notify the company whose road it is proposed to
cross, and the company proposing to cross it, that if any objection is made to
the crossing the cabinet will meet, at a stated time and place, to consider the
question of approving the crossing. The cabinet may determine the manner in
which the crossing shall be made in order to protect against accidents.
