Mike - Great shots!
Doesn't the railroad right-of-way extend 100 feet either side of the track centerline? Was the fire station built on RR ROW?
Phil, Bklyn.

Phil, the centerline of a railroad right of way does not depend upon the location of the tracks. There are various ways to determine the centerline depending on the railroad, but it is possible that the tracks could be laid anywhere within the ROW. Plus, most railroads do not have a ROW that is over 100' wide.
