<div id="ygrps-yiv-572698414">This goes back to the discussions we had earlier this year about<br/>
sovereignty always or not always being vertical, extending to the<br/>
heavens and to the center of the earth.  See the photo library and<br/>
past messages - there is a diagram there getting to the heart of what<br/>
is included in the &quot;track bed&quot;.  This concept of interrupted<br/>
verticality of borders existed at Steinstuecken (where there was a W<br/>
German bridge over E German RR tracks inside the W Berlin exclave),<br/>
still exists on the bridges over the US-Mexico border, and on the<br/>
bridge crossing the D-Luxembourg condominium.<br/>

&gt; question in my mind about the exclave status of the parcel of land<br/>
connected<br/>
&gt; to &quot;the mainland&quot; by the road under the bridge. Without access to<br/>
the legal<br/>
&gt; documents and only being able to go on what I find on websites it is<br/>
hard to<br/>
