in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congress repealed the earlier railway right-of-way grant for Mount Rainier National Park land. But the Interior Secretary can still permit tramways or cable lines for visitors' convenience.

The part of section 92 of this title that granted railway or tramway companies rights-of-way to build and run a railway or tramway line is repealed, as far as it applies to land within Mount Rainier National Park in Washington. However, nothing here stops the Secretary of the Interior from authorizing, by contract, permit, lease, or otherwise, the use of park land to build and run a tramway or cable line for the accommodation and convenience of visitors and others.
