The railroad, unless they deed it over to someone else.
ClarificationIt sometimes requires extensive research in the 1800s to determine who owns an old railroad right of way. When railroads were first constructed there were different ways by which the railroad acquired their rights in the land: by deed in fee, by grant of easement, by eminent domain takings and by congressional grants.- If the right of way was acquired by deed the railroad owns the land and may have the right to sell it when the ROW is no longer in use.
- If grants of easement rights to construct the ROW were acquired from the abutters then the land may revert to those abutters when the ROW is discontinued.
- If the land was taken by eminent domain for the layout of the railroad then the land may revert to the abutters when the ROW is discontinued.
- In Massachusetts the state has the right of first refusal when railroad land is conveyed in fee.
This is a contentious topic right now in the United States where states are acquiring old railroad corridors to construct bike and hiking trails for public use. See the related link provided below.

How do you use the railroad pieces in monopoly city?
To use railroad pieces in monopoly you have to have either landed on something that says that you have to build a railroad or when you click the build button you have to build a railroad. Railroads are free. You put them on any owned property. If you land on a property with a railroad on it then you can jump to another property with a railroad on it. This helps you avoid having to pay rent and it also counts for your GO money if you pass GO while you are jumping from railroad to railroad. You can jump from railroad A to railroad B to railroad C. What I said in my last sentence is that you can jump multiple times in one turn. My advice for you is to build a hotel on one of your properties and then also have a railroad on it, so people can jump to your property to get away from properties like Diamond Hills. You can only put railroads on properties that are owned and you can not put railroads on properties that you cannot buy. I hope this answered your question!

Does the state or local school district have ultimate legal control over the dispostion and use of public school property?
That depends entirely on how the property came into being. Generally speaking the local school district (normally) owns the property and decides what to do with it; unless of course this property was bought, leased, or financed through the state which would mean the state owns at least some interest in the property and maybe able to overrule the school district in some cases.
