The court, by its order referred to in section 4955.16 of the Revised Code, shall define the manner in which the applicant is to do or let the work for such crossing and equitably apportion the initial expense of such construction or crossing and the expense of maintenance among the parties interested.
A party feeling aggrieved by the decision of the court shall have the right of appeal as in other civil cases.
Unless the companies agree upon the compensation to be paid for the land occupied by such crossing, the court shall submit that question to a jury as provided in other cases for the appropriation of private property.
