W.T. Walker et al. v. CSX Transportation, Inc.

Case Number
M2010-00932-COA-R3-CV

The Walkers, the appellants, sued the appellee railroad seeking a declaration that an easement already existed over the railroad tracks so that appellants could have access to a public road without contracting for an easement from the railroad. The jury found that the easement contract was not valid and that the appellants had an easement by necessity and implication. The trial court granted the railroad a judgment notwithstanding the verdict on the existence of the  easement. The Walkers appealed. We reverse the trial court.
