§ 3534. Obstruction to private way
If a railroad corporation obstructs the travel or means of access to a manufactory,
mill, place of business, or dwelling house in laying out, building, grading, or making
its road, it shall be liable to pay to the person thereby injured such reasonable
compensation as the commissioners for determining railroad damages deem proper. The
person so claiming to be damaged may apply in writing to the commissioners, setting
forth such damage. Such application, with a notice from the commissioners to the corporation
of the time and place of hearing, shall be served on the corporation according to
law.
