Has anyone recently dealt with replacing a water line under a railroad bed? We have a CSX owned track through our farm, and the water line that my great-grandfather put in back in 1946 is coming to the end of its life. I currently have a leak near/under the rail bed. I dug a pilot hole to get eyes on the line about 15 feet back from the rails (where the leak detector picked up the leak), and it seems the leak is further back towards the railroad. I talked to the shortline company that leases the line from CSX and they said anything that involved repair or maintenance they could handle, but anything that would qualify as a new installation would have to be permitted and re-licensed again through CSX. The original license agreement says it is a 1-inch pipe in a 2-inch pipe casing (all galvanized pipe from 1946), but I have not seen the first sign of 2 inch casing and that is within 15 ft of the center of the track. Has anyone had any experience working with CSX on a pipeline? I have a residence and 2 horse barns that are land-locked by the railroad from city utilities. Currently, the water line is leaking around 100,000 gallons of water a month under their railbed, so I would think they would like to help get this fixed before it undermines the railbed footing.
