Judge Grants Rail Route Victory for Pittsburg and Western
Judge Grant announced a decision approving the Pittsburg Akron and Western Railroad right to condemn land from the Valley Railroad Company to cross tracks under a stone arch and to occupy raceway land. He held the route and property questions were legislative, not judicial, and that the taking is necessary for the main line use within public necessity limits. The ruling allows the new road to proceed with the route selected, despite exceptions, under Ohio law.
