any surveyor licensed under chapter 391 or person acting at the direction of any such
licensed surveyor who enters upon land other than the land being surveyed without
causing any damage to such other land in order to perform a survey, provided no such

owned by a railroad company, as defined in section 16-1, which is within fifty feet of
a railroad track without first obtaining written permission from the railroad company,
