GRADE CROSSINGS
§
3786. Tracks of more than one railroad
When, upon an
application or petition brought under the provisions of section 3783 of this
title, the board finds that a public highway crosses or is crossed by the
tracks of more than one railroad and the tracks of such railroads are so near
together that public convenience requires the work of separating the grades to
be done under and in compliance with one order, it shall give notice to all the
corporations operating such railroads to appear before it and be heard upon the
application. After such notice and hearing, the board shall determine what
alterations shall be made, if any, so as to separate the grades of all such
crossings at the same time, and shall determine by whom such work shall be
done, and shall apportion the expense to be borne by the railroad corporations
between such corporations in such manner as the board deems just and proper.
(Amended 1959, No. 329 (Adj. Sess.), § 39(b), eff. March 1, 1961.)
