222.25 CONNECTION WITH OTHER ROAD.
Any railroad company, in the location of its line of road, may cross, intersect, join, or unite
its railroad with the constructed railroad of any other company at any point on its route. If the
corporations cannot agree upon the amount of compensation to be paid therefor, the same shall be
ascertained and determined by condemnation proceedings under the power of eminent domain,
as in other cases; and, in case such companies shall disagree as to the place and manner of
such crossing or connection, the district court, at the time of appointing commissioners in such
condemnation proceedings, upon application of either party, shall prescribe the location and
manner in which such crossing or connection shall be made, so as to effect the purpose of the
petitioner and do the least injury to the owner. When such order is made, the petitioner, upon
filing with the clerk a bond in such amount as shall be accepted by the owner, or as shall, upon
reasonable notice, be approved by the judge of the court, conditioned to prosecute the petition
with diligence and to pay the owner the amount adjudged by the court in such proceeding and
to abide the order of such court in the matter, may immediately proceed to make and operate
such crossing or connection.
