To restore stream or highway

Every corporation constructing, owning, or using a railroad,

shall restore every stream of water, watercourse, street, highway,

plank road, toll or wagon road, turnpike, or canal, across, along,

or upon which said railroad may be constructed, to its former state,

or to such condition as that its usefulness shall not be materially

impaired, and thereafter maintain the same in such condition against

any effects in any manner produced by such railroad. When any lands

shall be required in order to change any highway, street, turnpike,

or plank road, toll or wagon road, the same may be condemned, taken,

and compensation made in the manner provided by law, and, when

taken, shall become a part of such highway, street, turnpike, or

plank road, toll or wagon road, to the same extent as, and by the

same tenure, by which the adjacent parts thereof are held.
