From my limited knowledge of these types of situations, it could be that the railway has an easement through the property (and maybe even ownership to a degree) but the original parcel remains as one piece. If the railway were to ever fall into disuse, the right-of-way would revert back to the owner of the two parcels. It might be a similar situation to a gas line being run through a farm field.
