Search 43 U.S.C. § 935 : US Code - Section 935: Several roads through canyons

Any railroad company whose right of way, or whose track or
roadbed upon such right of way, passes through any canyon, pass, or
defile, shall not prevent any other railroad company from the use
and occupancy of the said canyon, pass, or defile, for the purposes
of its road, in common with the road first located, on the crossing
of other railroads at grade. And the location of such right of way
through any canyon, pass, or defile shall not cause the disuse of
any wagon or other public highway located therein on March 3, 1875,
nor prevent the location through the same of any such wagon road or
highway where such road or highway may be necessary for the public
accommodation; and where any change in the location of such wagon
road is necessary to permit the passage of such railroad through
any canyon, pass, or defile, said railroad company shall before
entering upon the ground occupied by such wagon road, cause the
same to be reconstructed at its own expense in the most favorable
location, and in as perfect a manner as the original road:
Provided, That such expenses shall be equitably divided between any
number of railroad companies occupying and using the same canyon,
pass, or defile.
