89. (1)  The lands which may be taken without the consent of the owner, shall not exceed thirty metres in breadth, except in places where the railway is raised more than one hundred and fifty-two centimetres higher, or cut more than one hundred and fifty-two centimetres deeper, than the surface of the line, or where a double track is established, or where stations, depots or other constructions are erected, or goods delivered, and then not more than two hundred and twenty-eight metres in length by one hundred and thirty-seven metres in breadth, without the consent of the person authorized to convey such lands.

(2)  The places at which such extra breadth is taken, shall be shown on the map or plan, or plan and profiles, in so far as the same may be then ascertained, but their not being so shown upon the plans shall not prevent such extra breadth from being taken, provided it be taken upon the line shown or within the above-mentioned distance from such line.
