A railroad right-of-way consists not only of that strip of land, usually one hundred feet wide, over which the main track is laid but the adjacent extra width of land as may be necessary and useful for cuts, embankments, ditches for change of location of watercourses, and other works of a railroad, appropriate and necessary for railroad purposes.
