My farmland, and that of others, will be the location for one mile sewer pipeline to service a small town in Kansas. The city purchased a railroad right-of-way that had been abandoned in the mid 1960's from a successor railroad ignoring laws & court rulings regarding reversion of ROWs to servient landowners and the state adverse possession law. The ROW bisected our property increasing our concern. They have now realized the error of their ways and are willing to buy the 100 foot strip of land from us.

I want to preserve my land ownership for the future by proceeding with an easement to protect the continuity of the land when the city's need goes away assuring that it will be restored and not be spit into two parcels. There are plenty of examples of drainage ditch and pipeline easements that apparently meet the needs of the dominant estate.

Is there a reason I would loose pursuing an easement in court? I do have an attorney.

Thank you
