Any railroad company granted an abandonment certificate by the Interstate Commerce Commission shall remove all track, and restore all grade crossings, on trackage abandoned within the corporation limits of the City. Such removal and restoration shall be done to City standards and within six months after such abandonment certificate is granted.
When an abandoning railroad company sells abandoned track for continued service or salvage, it alone shall be responsible for removal and restoration costs.
If trackage is removed between grade crossings, and the crossings are not removed and surfaces restored within thirty days thereafter the City shall have the right to remove these crossings and to charge the abandoning railroad company for all costs in connection therewith.
Whoever violates this section, in addition to any civil or other liability is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree. Each day of such violation shall constitute a separate offense.
