3.4.9 Railroad Corridor Preservation
Projects with potential to use abandoned railroad corridors require a railroad corridor evaluation report. Railroad corridors constitute a source of ROW for future improvements to the transportation system. The corridor must first be identified as abandoned or under consideration of abandonment as verified by the Rail Division (RRD).
If a transportation project can be foreseen within all or a portion of the railroad property, the affected District must prepare a railroad corridor evaluation report recommending for or against corridor acquisition.
A title insurance 3-21 should be obtained for railroad corridor acquisition. Consult with RRD.
