 Southeast Cass Water Resource Dist. v. Burlington Northern Railroad, 527 N.W.2d 884 (N.D. 1995)
Burlington Northern Railroad Company (BN Railroad) appeals from a summary judgment declaring it responsible for the costs of necessary modifications to its bridges and culverts to accommodate drainage improvements directed by the Southeast Cass Water Resource District (District) for Cass County Drain 45.
BN Railroad reasonably argues that use of the "at its own expense" phrase in the part of the statute on highway-drain crossings and omission of that phrase from the part of the statute on railroad-drain crossings indicates an intent to save the railroad from the costs.
The railroads argued, because their railroads were not within the area to be drained, they did not contribute to the need for drainage, they would not be benefited, and their tracks could only be taken with appropriate compensation.

 Burlington Northern R. v. Ford, 504 U.S. 648 (1992).
Burlington does not, indeed, seriously contend that such a decision is constitutionally flawed as applied to individual nonresident defendants.
Burlington does claim, however, that the rule is unconstitutional as applied to a corporate defendant like Burlington that not only has its home office in some other State or country, but also has a place of business in Montana that would qualify as its "principal place of business" if it were a Montana corporation.
These possibilities, of course, put Burlington a far cry away from the point of discharging its burden of showing that the under and overinclusiveness of Montana's venue rules is so great that the rules can no longer be said rationally to implement Montana's policy judgment.
