11acquire, for present or future transportational or recreational purposes, any
12property used in operating a railroad or railway, including land and rails, ties,
13switches, trestles, bridges, and the like located on that property, that has been
14abandoned. The department of transportation may, in connection with abandoned
15rail property, assign this right to a state agency, the board of regents of the University
16of Wisconsin System, any county or municipality, or any transit commission.
17Acquisition by the department of transportation may be by gift, purchase, or
18condemnation in accordance with the procedure under s. 32.05, except that the power
19of condemnation may not be used to acquire property for the purpose of establishing
20or extending a recreational trail; a bicycle way, as defined in s. 340.01 (5s); a bicycle
21lane, as defined in s. 340.01 (5e); or a pedestrian way, as defined in s. 346.02 (8) (a)
.
22In addition to its property management authority under s. 85.15, the department of
23transportation may, subject to any prior action under s. 13.48 (14) (am) or 16.848 (1),
24lease and collect rents and fees for any use of rail property pending discharge of the
25department's duty to convey property that is not necessary for a public purpose. No

1person owning abandoned rail property, including any person to whom ownership
2reverts upon abandonment, may convey or dispose of any abandoned rail property
3without first obtaining a written release from the department of transportation
4indicating that the first right of acquisition under this subsection will not be
5exercised or assigned. No railroad or railway may convey any rail property prior to
6abandonment if the rail property is part of a rail line shown on the railroad's system
7map as in the process of abandonment, expected to be abandoned, or under study for
8possible abandonment unless the conveyance or disposal is for the purpose of
9providing continued rail service under another company or agency. Any conveyance
10made without obtaining such release is void. The first right of acquisition of the
11department of transportation under this subsection does not apply to any rail
12property declared by the department to be abandoned before January 1, 1977. The
13department of transportation may acquire any abandoned rail property under this
14section regardless of the date of its abandonment.
