§ 4955.27.
When a person owns fifteen or more acres of land in one body through which a railroad
passes, which land is so situated that he cannot use a crossing in a public street,
lane, road, or other highway in going from his land on one side of the railroad to
that on the other side without great inconvenience, at his request the company or
person operating such railroad, at the expense of such company or person shall, within
four months after such request, construct a good and sufficient private crossing across
such railroad and the lands occupied by the company, between the two pieces of land
to enable such landowner to pass with a loaded team and over which he may go at all
times when such railroad is not being used at the crossing, or so near to it as to
render passing thereat dangerous.
