(70 ILCS 2905/2-10) (from Ch. 42, par. 502-10)
Sec. 2-10.
When necessary for or in connection with any of the purposes authorized
by this Act, the board of trustees may acquire and compel any steam,
electric or other railroad company to raise its tracks to conform to the
grade of any levee, or other work intersecting or crossing the same, which
may, at any time, be established by such sanitary district, and where such
tracks run lengthwise upon or along the line of any such improvement, to
require and compel such railroad companies to elevate the same to the
surface thereof. Also to require and compel any such railroad companies to
maintain and keep open and in repair, ditches, drains, sewers and culverts,
along and under their tracks, so that filth or stagnant pools of water
shall not stand upon their right of way and grounds, and so that the
drainage of adjacent property shall not be impeded or interfered with.
