1continued rail service under another company or agency. Any conveyance made

11is in the best interest of the state to acquire the rail property. Within 90 days after
12being requested by any state agency, any railroad or any county or municipality in
13which the rail property is located, the department shall, subject to sub. (5) (b), make
14a determination of the abandonment status and, if found to be abandoned, shall
15determine whether it is in the best interest of the public to acquire the rail property.
16If it is determined to acquire the rail property or any part or interest therein, the
17department shall, within 180 days of the determination of its abandoned status, or
18the interstate commerce commission's final order permitting the abandonment, or
19the termination of any efforts to negotiate an agreement for continual operation of
20rail service on the line, whichever occurs last, determine the fair market value of the
21rail property and acquire the rail property at a price deemed reasonable by the
22department or make a relocation order under s. 32.05. In making its determination,
23the department shall consider long-range potential for use of the rail property for
24restoration of railroad service and for other transportation related purposes. The
25department shall solicit the opinions of appropriate state agencies, affected counties

1and municipalities and other interested persons. The department shall give due
2consideration to an expressed desire by a state agency or an affected county or
3municipality to acquire, in whole or in part, the rail property under consideration.
4Subject to any prior action under s. 13.48 (14) (am) or 16.848 (1) and subject to sub.

7to another state agency or a county or municipality for transportational purposes,
8recreational purposes, scenic purposes or for the purpose of constructing a
9correctional institution, or to a railroad for continued railroad transportation
10operations when the railroad has operated on the rail property for 5 years and the
11department may make such conveyances for such purposes. Any determination of
12the department under this section that rail property is not abandoned shall not
13preclude the undertaking of a subsequent investigation and determination
14concerning the same rail property or any portion thereof. If at any time subsequent
15to the acquisition of rail property under this section the department determines that
16the rail property is not suitable for transportational purposes, recreational purposes,
17scenic purposes or for the purpose of constructing a correctional institution, or that
18the rail property or any interest therein may be conveyed to any other person on
19terms which are not inconsistent with the potential use of the rail property for
20transportational purposes, recreational purposes, scenic purposes or for the purpose
21of constructing a correctional institution or which yield a benefit, including financial
22benefits, to the state which outweighs the benefit derived from the rail property if
23used for transportational purposes, recreational purposes, scenic purposes or for the
24purpose of constructing a correctional institution, the department may convey the
25rail property or such interest therein, subject to any prior action under s. 13.48 (14)

5have the next 6 months in which to exercise its opportunity to reacquire the rail
6property or interest therein.
