When any railroad company neglects to construct any highway or bridge which it is its duty to construct, or to keep in repair any bridge, embankment, filling or abutment which it is its duty to maintain, the state's attorney in any judicial district in which the whole or any part of such highway, bridge, embankment, filling or abutment is situated shall make complaint thereof to the superior court for such judicial district, and further proceedings shall thereupon be taken against such company, similar to those required against a town neglecting to construct a road laid out by the Superior Court or to keep in repair a road within its limits which it is its duty to construct or keep in repair.
