Where the railroad of an insolvent company lies partly in another State, the Superior Court may order the sale of any of its property or franchises at the same time or place, whether in or out of this State, of any official or foreclosure sale thereof out of this State. Such sale may be made in such manner that a purchase thereof may be made on one and the same bid by the purchaser of the property and franchises out of this State or otherwise as the Superior Court may direct, imposing on the purchaser such terms as shall be equitable.
