I remember well, heated arguments between the govt and land owners about where the sewer lines were to be buried. There were some law written in the books that allow the govt jurisdiction over old RR right of ways even though the railroad gave up their rights and sold the land. One neighbor built a cabana and pool on the old right of way. Guess what, the govt dug up his pool and move the pool and cabana aside to put the sewage in. His lawyer told him not to bother sueing for damages.

If you had built on the old RR line, and the govt decides to extend the sewage line to Alton as originally intended, be prepared for the consequences.
