in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The federal government gives permission for railroad or canal companies to transfer property to states. This applies to rights-of-way or other property the company got from a U.S. land grant. The company gives the property to the state's transportation department or its chosen recipient.

For the purposes of this title, the United States consents in advance to something specific: a railroad or canal company may convey part of its right-of-way, or other property, to a state's transportation department or to whoever that department names. This applies only to property the company originally got in that state through a grant from the United States.
