I have attached a copy of the Cedar Bluffs Plat from about 1920 that shows the ROW with the elevators depot and stock pens marked. It also shows a lumber yard butting up to the ROW.

There is also a picture of the remaining elevator as it appeared in the mid 1980's, and a picture of a track crew with their cart from around 1920.

I would have to say in most cases the land was leased.  For a normal small fee.  Same with lumber yards, coal sheds and other warehouses with in the about 100 feet ROW.  IF you can fine ROW maps like the one I used for my clinic at La Crosse there are notations on them.  Often in some of my files are smaller maps just for the leases.  When the Aurora Elevation was put in they even built it wider just to serve the Fox River Butter Co.
Due to the changes in business today and the loss of the customer base that is one reason often there is no buildings close to the tracks thru most towns today.  All the coal shed, warehouses and elevators have been torn down.

In the video, it was stated that the railroad donated land for the elevator to be sited on. Was that true about the situation in the U.S., or was the property owned by the company owning the elevator?
