LB175

LB175 amends Nebraska law to clarify duties for successors in interest of railroads, including maintaining crossings and addressing landowner.

LB175 amends Nebraska law to clarify the duties of successors in interest of railroads, including maintaining adequate and safe crossings for landowners. It defines "successor in interest" to include various entities acquiring railroad land rights. Landowners with property on both sides of a railroad right-of-way can file complaints with the Department of Transportation if crossings are inadequate or unsafe. The department can investigate, hold hearings, and issue orders to ensure safety. If a special crossing costs over $1,500, the landowner must bear half the excess expenses.
