Whenever public convenience and necessity requires that an electric or telecommunications distribution or transmission line, pipeline, or railroad track of any public utility cross a line or track of another public utility and the public utilities have failed to agree upon the terms and conditions or compensation for the same, the commission, after notice and hearing, may prescribe reasonable terms, conditions, and compensation under which the crossing shall be permitted.
