surface railroad or branch thereof, shall be specifically authorized by
statute to be taken for any other public use, and such portion lies
wholly outside of any city, any corporation owning or operating such
portion may locate, as provided in section sixteen of this article, and
may construct and operate, in substitution for such portion, and with
proper connections with the former line, a new line of steam surface
railroad, wholly or partly in the same or any adjoining county, and
wholly outside of any city, and not exceeding twenty-five miles in
length, in the manner, with the powers and subject to the limitations
and requirements provided in this chapter with respect to steam surface
