This arrangement can be very beneficial to the railroad company because it’s able to sell the entire corridor, instead of pieces, therefore reducing transaction costs, and allows the railroad to avoid the expense of removing railroad structures, such as trestles and culverts. It also avoids time consuming and costly inquiries or litigation to resolve ownership questions.”
