327G.12 - OVERHEAD, UNDERGROUND, OR MORE THAN ONE CROSSING.

        327G.12  OVERHEAD, UNDERGROUND, OR MORE THAN ONE      CROSSING.         The owner of land may serve upon the railroad corporation a      request in writing for more than one private crossing, or for an      overhead or underground crossing, accompanied by a plat of the      owner's land designating the location and character of crossing      desired.  If the railroad corporation refuses or neglects to comply      within thirty days of a written request, the owner of the land may      make written application to the department to determine the owner's      rights.  The department of inspections and appeals, after notice to      the railroad corporation, shall hear the application and all      objections to the application, and make an order which is reasonable      and just, and if it requires the railroad company to construct any      crossing or roadway, fix the time for compliance with the order and      apportion the costs as appropriate.  The order of the department of      inspections and appeals is subject to review by the state department      of transportation.  The decision of the state department of      transportation is the final agency action.
