1. Every person, lessee, receiver, firm, copartnership or corporation owning, leasing or operating any railroad in, or through any part of, the State of Nevada shall, wherever a public road or highway crosses the fenced-in right-of-way of such railroad, construct such barriers, guards or other devices as will effectually prevent the entrance from such public road or highway onto the right-of-way of cattle, horses, mules and burros. Such barriers, guards, or other devices shall not be placed across, or in any wise obstruct, such public road or highway.
