Official statutory text
Every corporation constructing, owning, or using a railroad,
shall restore every stream of water, watercourse, street, highway,
plank road, toll or wagon road, turnpike, or canal, across, along,
or upon which said railroad may be constructed, to its former state,
or to such condition as that its usefulness shall not be materially

and compensation made in the manner provided by law, and, when
taken, shall become a part of such highway, street, turnpike, or
plank road, toll or wagon road, to the same extent as, and by the
same tenure, by which the adjacent parts thereof are held.
