As I mentioned in the other thread, this gets murky. The state originally took land for the railroad at a time of very poor record keeping. When the railroad was discontinued some of the land was sold to the town which kept some and sold some. Some of the RR land became Rt 11.
If an attorney is retained for the group, then an effort should be made to find one with directly related experience.
I would hope that the Town takes your side. I don't know if Jim Sessler is still Town Attorney; I do know that he as had some directly related experience. Art Hoover is probably retired however he would know of anyone with direct Alton experience.
