Where a person, firm, or chartered company engaged in mining, manufacturing, or lumber getting, as defined in § 33.2-252 of the Code of Virginia, applies directly for a permit to construct a tramway or railroad track across the right-of-way, a permit may be issued under the following conditions:

1. In the event of future widening of the highway, the permittee shall lengthen the crossing surface, relocate signs and signals, and make other adjustments as may be necessary, at no expense to the Commonwealth.

2. The permittee shall furnish a suitable surety of such amounts as VDOT deems necessary and agree to continue the same in force so long as the crossing is in place.

3. The permittee shall notify VDOT prior to the permittee transferring ownership of a crossing so that proper arrangement can be made for the transfer of permitted responsibilities.
