House Bill 2921 limits a railroad company's condemnation power relating to property for a terminal switching railroad that handles a certain number of carloads a year and operates in a single county with a population of 110,000 or more that is not adjacent to the Texas border and does not contain a portion of a national forest. The bill provides that this power does not apply to property used for or designated under zoning regulations for residential use, unless the proposed use conforms with local zoning or development regulations.
