Can you advertise on public property such as railways and bridges?
First, most all railroads are not PUBLIC PROPERTY, they are owned by entities licensed by the Surface Transportation Board to run a railroad. AMTRAK does not own most of the railroad lines that it runs across, but leases from other entities the right to transport upon their lines. Therefore, you would need permission of the railroad owners/company in order to advertise upon their rights of way. Remember also, these rights of way can be up to 100 feet across or 20 feet across, and anything in the right of way has to be a minimum of 10 feet away from the nearest rail. Each railroad has legal departments to contact for restrictions, permits, etc. PS This includes their bridges too!
