The receiver, appointed by the Superior Court, of an insolvent railroad company of this State, or of another State holding railroad franchises and property in this State, may with the approval of the Superior Court, lease or sell the railroad with all its chartered rights, privileges and franchises.
The purchaser or lessee shall hold, use and enjoy the same during the residue of the term limited in the charter of the company or during the term in such lease specified as fully as the company could have enjoyed the same, subject to all the restrictions, limitations and conditions contained in the charter.
Where the railroad of an insolvent company lies partly in another State, the Superior Court may order the sale of any of its property or franchises at the same time or place, whether in or out of this State, of any official or foreclosure sale thereof out of this State. Such sale may be made in such manner that a purchase thereof may be made on one and the same bid by the purchaser of the property and franchises out of this State or otherwise as the Superior Court may direct, imposing on the purchaser such terms as shall be equitable.
The Superior Court may order the company to join with the receiver in the conveyance of the property and franchises.
