Ohio Code § 4955.07. Reproduced from the official Ohio Revised Code, with a citation summary, verification link, and related provisions.

§ 4955.07.

Every company shall make every railroad constructed or controlled by it of one uniform

gauge or width of track from end to end.  When a railroad connects with or crosses another railroad, the companies owning

or controlling such railroads may adopt such uniform gauge or width of track as will

enable each company to pass its cars over the railroad of the other.  If railroads so connecting or crossing are constructed of different gauges or widths

of track, the companies controlling them may lay down, and maintain upon the whole

or any portion of such railroads, additional rails so as to admit the passage of the

same cars over both railroads, and also maintain and operate either or both of such

railroads upon the tracks originally constructed, as is deemed expedient by the companies

owning or controlling either or both of the railroads.
