A limited non-possessory interest in the land of another 8 Easement (NJ) An easement is "defined as a nonpossessory incorporeal interest in another's possessory estate in land, entitling the holder of the easement to make some use of the other's property." MAUTONE v. CAPPELLUTI , NJ: Appellate Div. 2014. Easement (PA) An easement is defined as "[a]n interest in land owned by another person, consisting in the right to use or control the land, or an area above or below it, for a specific limited purpose." KEYSTONE RIVER PROPERTIES, LP v. CANESTRALE, Pa: Superior Court 2016 9 Easement (NY) An easement is "an incorporeal right which is appurtenant to the ownership of the dominant estate," i.e., plaintiff's property, and "which constitutes a charge upon the servient estate," i.e., defendant's property. "An easement is more than a personal privilege to use another's land, it is an actual interest in that land"." IRONWOOD, LLC v. JGB PROPS., LLC, 99 AD 3d 1192 - NY: Appellate Div., 4th Dept. 2012 Easement in Gross An easement in gross … is not appurtenant to any estate in land and does not belong to any person by virtue of ownership of an estate in other land. It is a mere personal interest in or right to use land of another. Village of Ridgewood v. Bolger Found. , 6 NJ Tax 391 - NJ: Tax Court 1984 10 What is a license? Black's Law Dictionary defines "license" in the context of entry on real property as a "personal or revocable privilege to perform an act or series of acts on the land of another." See Black's Law Dictionary 830 (5th ed. 1979). License (NJ) "A license is simply a personal privilege to use the land of another in some specific way or for some particular purpose or act." Mandia v. Applegate, 310 NJ Super. 435 - NJ: Appellate Div. 1998 11 License (NJ) [W]hen the use is permissive, it is by definition not adverse, but rather entails a revocable license. LAMANNA v. Swan , NJ: Appellate Div. 2012 License (PA) [A] license is a mere personal or revocable privilege to perform an act or series of acts on the land of another, which conveys no interest or estate. Hill v. Clawson, Pa: Superior Court 2018 12 License (NY) [A license is a revocable privilege given to another to do one or more acts of a temporary nature upon the property without granting any interest in land itself. A license is a revocable and non-assignable privilege. Orman v. Curtis, 2017 NY Slip Op 50010 - NY: Supreme Court, Steuben 2017 Right-of-Way • Originally the term “Right of Way” indicated a Right of Easement. • More specifically, an easement for passage purposes (hence “right of way”) such as for a railroad, pipelines, pedestrians, vehicles, aqueducts, etc. 13 Right-of-Way • However, “Right of Way” has also come to mean the land burdened • In the context of “the land burdened” a right of way may be owned in fee, or something less See p. 11 Right of Way (PA) The law presently applicable is clear. A right of way is an easement. Lease v. Doll, 403 A. 2d 558 - Pa: Supreme Court 1979 14 Right of Way (NY) A right-of-way is a type of easement. Hoffmann v. Delbeau, 139 AD 3d 803 - NY: Appellate Div., 2nd Dept. 2016 Right-of-Way A right-of-way is an easement and is usually the term used to describe the easement itself or the strip of land which is occupied for the easement. 25 Am. Jur. 2d Easements & Licenses, §§ 1 and 8. 15 Right of Way [The term "right of way“] when appearing outside of the granting clause, … is of limited value because it has two meanings. Right of way refers to 1) a right to cross over the land of another, an easement, and 2) the strip of land upon which a railroad is constructed.. Clark v. CSX 737 N.E.2d 752 (2000) Right of Way “Right-of-way" is " a general term denoting land, property, or the interest therein , usually in the configuration of a strip, acquired for or devoted to for transportation purposes.” Akers v. Saulsbury , 2010 Ohio 4965 - Ohio: Court of Appeals, 5th Appellate Dist. 2010. 16 Right of Way There appears to be considerable conflict in the cases as to the construction of deeds purporting to convey land, where there is also a reference to a right of way. Some of the conflict may arise by virtue of the twofold meaning of the term "right of way," as referring both to land and to a right of passage. Maberry v. Gueths , 777 P. 2d 1285 - Mont: Supreme Court 1989 See p. 12 Right of Way "[a] right of way is an easement which may be created by an express grant. Laughlin v. Schnur, Pa: Superior Court 2017 See p. 22 17 Right of Way (“Limited Fee”) Though the owner of a fee in an easement existing for public road purposes may technically have title to the surface of the way not useful or necessary in the construction or maintenance of the road, he can not utilize it in any manner that will interfere with the use by the public or with the control of the way by the State.

    History of Linden Depot Genealogical Society of Montgomery County Crawfordsville Library – March 13, 2018 Introduction I realize that I probably do not appear to fit the profile of one who is interested in trains. However, I have always had a love of and a connection to trains. Before she got married, my Grandmother worked as a clerk for the “B&O Railroad” in Baltimore. Later, the train ran behind my Grandparents’ house; when I was a young child, I remember waving to the engineer as the train passed by and he would blow the whistle for me. My grandfather rode that train when he traveled from Baltimore to New York on business, and when I was visiting their house, he would sit on the side of the train where I could see him at the window and he would wave to me as he passed by. Page 1 of 50 I was raised in Ellicott City, Maryland, the site of the oldest surviving train station in the United States and one of the oldest in the world. The town of Ellicott City, which was originally known as Ellicott Mills, is 13 miles west of Baltimore. Ellicott City Station was originally built to serve the horse- drawn “railroad” cars that traveled to and from the Baltimore Harbor. The original wooden rails were eventually replaced with durable iron rails. The station still stands and is now a branch of the B&O Railroad Museum. Page 2 of 50 My name is Elizabeth Carroll Hendrickson; I am a direct descendent of Mary Clare Carroll, the sister of Charles Carroll, Barrister.

  • W.W. Embree Dekalb, Illinois
    Inventory of the W.W. Embree DeKalb, Illinois Collection In the Regional History Center RC 2 1 INTRODUCTION Mrs. Waite Embree and Mr. George D. Embree donated the Waite W. Embree Collection to the Regional History Collections of the University Archives in March 1967. Northern Illinois University Archivist J. Joseph Bauxar and history Professor Earl Hayter brought this collection to the University, thus preserving the single most significant group of historical records documenting the heritage of the DeKalb area. In the spring of 1978 Mr. Bauxar transferred the collection to the Regional History Center. Property rights in the collection are held by the Regional History Center; literary rights are dedicated to the public. There are no restrictions to the collection. Linear feet of shelf space: 63.50 Number of Containers: 74 + 18 notebooks Northern Illinois Regional History Center Collection 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT Waite W. Embree and his father, Elmer E. Embree, preserved most of the historical materials generated by the family’s business and social activities. Waite, especially, collected a large volume of printed materials and photographs that relate to his main interests--the history of DeKalb and the history of railroading. It is important to note that Embree was a collector: indeed, in the absence of an active county historical society, Waite Embree filled a void in DeKalb County with his keen interest in the preservation of the county’s past for many decades. In keeping with the agreement concerning the donation of the collection to the University the integrity of arrangement by Embree has been respected whenever possible.

It all started with the New Albany and Salem Railroad that ran north and south through the western portion of the county. At its peak, seven railroads traversed Starke County. Today, although much has changed, the Norfolk Southern runs many trains through Knox between Chicago and Buffalo on the former Nickel Plate line. Norfolk Southern also uses the former Pennsylvania line across the northern half of Starke County for additional freight traffic. While it may seem to the casual observer that railroads are in a decline, statistics from the Association of American Railroads show that freight revenue is at an all time high of 33.5 billion for the year 2001.

Those carriers have authorized NCCC representation by duly executed powers of attorney and are listed in Attachment A hereto. That list will be supplemented from time to time as additional carriers authorize representation by the NCCC in national handling with respect to your organization. Attachment B comprises a notice served nationally on your organization on behalf of these carriers pursuant to Section 6 of the Railway Labor Act. It is served upon you as the national representative of your organization and the carriers propose it be handled nationally and concurrently with any Section 6 proposals that may be served by your organization. We believe that national handling represents the best opportunity for your organization and the freight railroads to manage our way to and through the next round of collective bargaining in a manner that serves the mutual interests of our respective constituents and their separate interests as well.

  • Exhibit-2-West-Lake-Corridor-Project
    Execution Version EXHIBIT 2 West Lake Corridor Project The West Lake Corridor Project is an approximate eight-mile southern extension of the existing NICTD South Shore Line (SSL) between Dyer and Hammond, Indiana. Traveling north from the southern terminus near Main Street at the Munster/Dyer municipal boundary, the West Lake Project will include new track operating at-grade on a separate right-of-way (to be acquired) adjacent to the CSX Transportation (CSX) Monon Subdivision freight line in Dyer and Munster. Continuing north, the West Lake Project alignment will be elevated from 45th Street to the Canadian National Railway (CN) Elsdon Subdivision freight line at Maynard Junction. North of the CN, the West Lake Project alignment will return to grade and join with the publicly owned former Monon Railroad corridor in Munster and Hammond, Indiana, and continue north. The West Lake Project alignment will cross under US 80/94 and continue north on the former Monon Railroad corridor until Sibley Street. From Douglas Street north, the West Lake Project will be elevated over all streets and railroads, using a combination of retaining walls, elevated structures, and bridges. The West Lake Project will end just east of the Indiana Harbor Belt at the state line, where it would connect with the SSL. West Lake trains would operate on the existing Metra Electric District (MED) line for the final 14 miles, terminating at Millennium Station in downtown Chicago. Station locations for the West Lake Project are Munster/Dyer Main Street, Munster Ridge Road, South Hammond, and Hammond Gateway. The four new stations along the alignment—two in Munster and two in Hammond—would have high-level station platforms proposed to be approximately 10 feet wide and vary in length from 210 to 550 feet.
