I am researching the rights and disposition of easements once used by a now defunct railroad.
The railroad company went bankrupt and is now dissolved; a salvage company bought the salvage rights for the railroad infrastructure. The land is owned by private individuals.
Are railroad easements public or private? Is a private easement transferable when no access is required due to dissolution of the railroad and removal of all rails?
What rights to the property owners have to prevent trespass?
