Public Utilities Code § 99681

Funds shall not be allocated for a project requiring service over the right-of-way of a railroad corporation unless a course of improvements and operation is agreed to by the railroad corporation or unless the right-of-way, or all or part of use of the right-of-way, is acquired by eminent domain or purchase. New or increased passenger service over the right-of-way of a railroad corporation shall be implemented in a manner which ensures the adequacy and efficiency of existing freight service. Neither the specific amounts allocated pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 99620), nor any other provision of this part, are intended to indicate the actual fair market value of any railroad right-of-way to be acquired or leased.
