“ Rep. 742; Western U. Teleg. Co. v. Pennsylvania R. Co. 195 U.S. 540, 570, 49 L. ed. 312, 323, 25 Sup. Ct. Rep. 133, 1 Ann. Cas. 517. The judgment under review does not in words so characterize the plaintiff's right, nor was it essential that it should do so. It describes the right in the exact terms of the right-of-way act, and evidently uses those terms with the same meaning they have in the act. So interpreting the judgment, as plainly must be done, we think it accords to the plaintiff all to which it is entitled under the act. ”

“ The right of way granted by this and similar acts is neither a mere easement, nor a fee simple absolute, but a limited fee, made on an implied condition of reverter in the event that the company ceases to use or retain the land for the purposes for which it is granted, and carries with it the incidents and remedies usually attending the fee. ”

“ This was a suit to quiet the title to a strip of land claimed and used by the plaintiff as a railroad right of way under the act of March 3, 1875, chap. 152, 18 Stat. at L. 482, Comp. Stat. 1913, § 4921, and to which the defendants asserted title under a patent for a placer mining claim. At the trial the facts were specially found and judgment for the defendants was entered upon the findings. ”
