Ah, but I'm in Murphysville.
Railroads are an example of why eminent domain exists; they are open to and used by the public, and that is why we're willing to use the state power to clear a right of way.
Balancing Act, though. If you want to build a spur for the railroad to serve the Westville Condom Factory, I'm not so happy about using eminent domain.

They're only used by the public if the public buys a ticket. By that standard, a city should be able to condemn land to build private development so long as the developer builds a movie theater or just offers paid tours every once in a while.
