2005 Minnesota Statutes - 222.25 — Connection with other road.

     222.25 Connection with other road.  


    Any railroad company, in the location of its line of road, 
 may cross, intersect, join, or unite its railroad with the 
 constructed railroad of any other company at any point on its 
 route.  If the corporations cannot agree upon the amount of 
 compensation to be paid therefor, the same shall be ascertained 
 and determined by condemnation proceedings under the right of 
 eminent domain, as in other cases; and, in case such companies 
 shall disagree as to the place and manner of such crossing or 
 connection, the district court, at the time of appointing 
 commissioners in such condemnation proceedings, upon application 
 of either party, shall prescribe the location and manner in 
 which such crossing or connection shall be made, so as to effect 
 the purpose of the petitioner and do the least injury to the 
 owner.  When such order is made, the petitioner, upon filing 
 with the clerk a bond in such amount as shall be accepted by the 
 owner, or as shall, upon reasonable notice, be approved by the 
 judge of the court, conditioned to prosecute the petition with 
 diligence and to pay the owner the amount adjudged by the court 
 in such proceeding and to abide the order of such court in the 
 matter, may immediately proceed to make and operate such 
 crossing or connection.
