Rolling Stock Company has been using Storage Warehouse Corporation's land as a right-of-way without permission for a period of time equal to the applicable statute of limitations. This meets the requirements for adverse possession, which can create an easement. Adverse possession occurs when someone uses another person's property without permission for a certain amount of time, and the property owner does not take legal action to stop the use. Rolling Stock Company's use of the right-of-way has been continuous, open, and notorious, and they have used it without permission for the required amount of time. Therefore, an easement has been created.
