Sometimes the first railroad was built specifically to delay the completion of the second. DIVISION OF COSTS It is generally the case that the second railway to arrive has to bear the cost of the special trackwork needed to cross the first. This includes the cost of any Interlocking Tower or Signal Box . The latter is not necessarily to the disadvantage of the second railway, since it can signal its trains through the junction ahead of those belonging to the first railway. OIL PIPELINES In the early days oil mostly travelled by rail, but gradually oil companies built oil pipelines. Not wanting to lose business, railway companies often refused permission to oil companies for pipelines to cross their tracks. BRIDGES AND RIVERBOATS Abraham Lincoln participated in a celebrated court case that decided that railroads had as much right to bridge rivers as the riverboat had the right to navigate those rivers.
