Older federal laws about granting rights-of-way through national parks and forests for irrigation and similar purposes still apply to Grand Canyon National Park, as long as they fit the park's main purposes. The Secretary of the Interior may also grant easements or rights-of-way for railroads through the park, on whatever conditions the Secretary thinks are proper.

As long as it fits the main purposes of Grand Canyon National Park, an older law - the Act of February 15, 1901, which allows rights-of-way through certain national parks and forests for irrigation and other purposes - and later related laws still apply to the land inside the park. The Secretary of the Interior may also grant easements or rights-of-way for railroads to cross or run through the park, using whatever conditions the Secretary thinks are appropriate.
