   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-2075
   Western District of Missouri   
   Civil Case - diversity - real property. 1902 conveyance of land to 
   railroad for valuable consideration 50 feet on each side of railway 
   constituted a conveyance in fee simple absolute, not an easement, because 
   consideration was substantial and quantum of title conveyed was not 
   restricted. Thus, the grant of summary judgment to successor railroad on 
   claim by adjacent landowners for interest in land is affirmed.
