	===643.4.1.6 Property Rights from Railroads===		===643.4.1.6 Property Rights from Railroads===

	Acquisitions ~~for use~~ of railroad right of way is a difficult and time-consuming process. MO-RR is responsible for all acquisitions with railroads ~~unless only~~ non-operating or abandoned right of way ~~is involved, in which case the district right~~ of ~~way office~~ will ~~acquire directly from~~ the railroad. Acquisitions from ~~railroad~~ should adhere to the procedures established in [https://epg.modot.org/index.php?title=236.7_Negotiation#236.7.5_Railroad.2C_State_and_Federal_Acquisitions EPG 236.7.5 Railroad, State and Federal Acquisitions].		Acquisitions of railroad right of way is a difficult and time-consuming process. Central Office Right of Way (COROW) and MO-RR are responsible for all acquisitions with railroads regardless of whether they are operating, non-operating, or abandoned railroad right of way. The COROW and District Right of Way Managers will handle all acquisitions with the affected railroad entity. Acquisitions from railroads should adhere to the procedures established in [https://epg.modot.org/index.php?title=236.7_Negotiation#236.7.5_Railroad.2C_State_and_Federal_Acquisitions EPG 236.7.5 Railroad, State and Federal Acquisitions].

	~~The district office initiates the acquisition process~~ by ~~acquiring~~ a ~~track map from each~~ railroad ~~involved~~.		Property rights granted by a railroad may be defined and described using one or more document types. Temporary and permanent easements are used where construction and maintenance of highway facilities encroach on operating right of way and may be included in one document. A Warranty Deed (Form 4-7.1A (CCO RW3)), a Quit Claim Deed (Form 4-7.2 (CCO RW2)), or an Easement for Highway Purposes (Form 4-7.5 (CCO RW23)) is desirable where permanent rights are sought on railroad right of way. Coordination with MO-RR and Central Office Right of Way is important when determining the document form due to the fact that all railroads utilize their own Public Projects Manual for details associated with acquisitions.

	~~Property rights granted by~~ a ~~railroad may be defined~~ and ~~described using one or more document types~~. ~~Temporary and permanent easements are used where construction and maintenance~~ of ~~highway facilities encroach on operating right of way and may be included~~ in ~~one document~~. ~~A Warranty Deed (Form 4-7~~.~~1A (CCO RW3)) or a Quit Claim Deed (Form 4-7~~.~~2 (CCO RW2))~~ is ~~desirable where permanent rights are sought on non-operating~~ right of way, ~~or use~~ an ~~Easement for Highway Purposes (Form 4-7.5 (CCO RW23))~~. ~~Coordination with MO-RR~~ is ~~important when determining the document form~~ to ~~be used because different railroads have different forms that can expedite~~ the ~~process~~.		The district right of way Manager at the request of COROW will prepare the negotiation packet which contains the conveyance documents using a metes and bounds legal description. The District Right of Way staff will prepare an appraisal for each parcel in accordance with standard procedures discussed in [[236.6 Appraisal and Appraisal Review\|EPG 236.6 Appraisal and Appraisal Review]]. After the appraisal is complete, the district right of way Manager will provide COROW with the appraisal, railroad’s tract map, roadway plan sheets, conveyance documents, a Written Notice of Intended Acquisition Letter and an undated Written Offer Letter that reflects the approved just compensation. It is likely that an administrative settlement will be necessary to cover the railroad’s processing fee.

	~~Following selection of the document form, the district will prepare~~ the ~~conveyance documents using a metes and bounds legal description. Right~~ of ~~Way personnel will appraise each parcel in accordance~~ with ~~standard procedures discussed in [[236.6 Appraisal~~ and ~~Appraisal Review\|EPG 236.6 Appraisal and Appraisal Review]]. After~~ the ~~appraisal is complete~~, ~~the district will provide~~ MO-RR with the appraisal, railroad’s tract map, roadway plan sheets, conveyance documents, a Written Notice of Intended Acquisition Letter and an undated Written Offer Letter that reflects the approved just compensation. MO-RR will ~~make a recommendation of~~ the ~~monetary consideration~~ to be ~~shown on~~ the ~~final conveyance documents since an administrative settlement is often necessary~~ to ~~cover the railroad’s processing fee~~.		In the event when highway right of way runs parallel with abutting railroad right of way and limited access rights are being acquired from the railroad, an electronic set of right of way plans must be sent as soon as available to MO-RR. MO-RR will provide the plans to the railroad to determine if access points need to be reserved for the railroad's use along with the consideration of potentially closing the public/private grade crossings. Quit claim deeds are used to acquire access rights when other easement rights are not involved.

	~~When highway right of way~~ is ~~parallel and abutting~~ railroad ~~right~~ of ~~way and limited access rights are being obtained from~~ the railroad~~, an electronic set of~~ right of way ~~plans are sent as soon as available to MO-RR. These plans will be provided~~ to the ~~railroad~~ to ~~determine if access points need to be reserved for~~ the ~~railroad's use~~ and ~~for~~ the ~~possible closing~~ of ~~public and private grade crossings. Quit claim deeds are used to acquire access rights when other easement rights are not involved~~.		The brief description for railroad easements is referenced to a land tie shown on the railroad's track map. (Example: reference the land tie, provide the distance along the section or quarter section line to the centerline of the railroad right of way, tied to the railroads equation station; refer to track map). A metes and bounds description completed by a Professional Land Surveyor describing the easement and included as Exhibit A to the conveyance document must be provided to Right of Way Manager or COROW.

	The description for railroad easements is referenced to a land tie shown on the railroad's track map. These references can be very brief. It is only necessary to reference the land tie and then provide the distance, along the section or quarter section line, to the centerline of the railroad right of way as shown on the track map. A metes and bounds description of the easement limits that are desired from the railroad is also provided. The key in this procedure is the equation stationing tying the railroad centerline to the highway centerline.		One copy of the railroad's track map, electronic copies of the roadway plan sheet with the parcels highlighted, and electronic copies of the property document form are submitted by District Right of Way Manager to COROW negotiations with the railroad entity.

	One copy of the railroad's track map, electronic copies of the roadway plan sheet with the parcels highlighted, and electronic copies of the property document form are submitted to ~~MO-RR for handling~~ with the railroad.

	Collisions at railroad crossings equipped with automated warning signals and gates can occur if the vehicle operator drives around the gates while in the lowered position. To help mitigate this, a non-mountable divisional island can be constructed in the roadway approaches to the crossing to discourage motorists from driving around the gates. Typically, the island must be at least 100 ft. long to be effective. (The island is also typically required for the establishment of a "Quiet Zone", see box to the right). However, in some cases, where access would be severely affected, an island of at least 60 ft. can be considered. A [[media:643.4.1.14.pdf\|detailed drawing]] is available for use. This divisional island is only used on roadway approaches where the posted speed limit is 40 mph or less. If a non-mountable curb is used, lighting of the ends is required.

	For roadway approaches where the posted speed limit is 45 mph or greater, delineators may be considered to discourage motorists from driving around the gates. Delineators may also be considered at locations with posted speed limits of 45 mph or less if deemed more feasible than the non-mountable median island described above.

	Maintenance staff should be ~~consulted~~ prior to the ~~installation~~ of ~~either~~ option.
			Collisions at railroad crossings equipped with automated warning signals and gates can occur if the vehicle operator drives around the gates while in the lowered position. To help mitigate this, in areas with a Posted Speed Limit of 40 MPH or less, a median island with barrier type (non-mountable) curbs is constructed on the roadway approaches. Typically, the island must be at least 100 ft. long to be effective. (The island is also typically required for the establishment of a "Quiet Zone", see box to the right). In some cases, where access would be severely affected, an island of at least 60 ft. can be considered. A detailed drawing is available for use. If a barrier type (non-mountable) curb on a divisional median island is used, lighting of the island ends is required.

			For roadway approaches where the posted speed limit is 45 MPH or greater, delineators or delineator curb system may be considered to discourage motorists from driving around the gates. Delineators or delineator curb system may also be considered at locations with posted speed limits of 40 MPH or less if deemed more feasible than the median island with barrier type (non-mountable) curbs described above.

			Maintenance staff should be involved in the development of Quiet Zone details prior to the selection, design and construction of any island or delineation option at the crossing.

	A rough riding railroad crossing is sometimes caused by the buildup of the asphalt approach pavement to the crossing. On overlay projects, depth transitions should be constructed approaching the railroad crossing to meet the elevation of the tracks. Modified coldmilling should be used to create a taper of 1” to 100’ (1:~~200~~) and the overlay placed at the intended thickness. As some flexibility exists, the district will need to review the route and any exceptions to determine the appropriate adjustments for each location within the project.
