1Opinion of the CourtAnnette Kingsland Ziegler, J.
¶ 1. This is a review of a published court of appeals' decision 1 that affirmed the decision of the Waushara County Circuit Court, Thomas T. Flugaur, Judge. The circuit court concluded that Heritage Farms, Inc. 2 could not be awarded double damages and attorney fees pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 26.21(1) (2007-08) 3 because that statute applies only to railroad corporations and none of the defendants are a railroad corporation. The court of appeals affirmed, and as a result, Heritage Farms petitioned this court for review. We granted the petition for review and reverse the court of appeals.
