Syllabus

<p>1. Railroad Ticket — Joint Contractor. — -It seems that a railroad company cannot be called upon to answer for damages for failure to carry a passenger on a ticket issued by another company, in the absence of any allegation that the issuing company was a joint contractor, or had the right to issue such ticket.</p> <p>2. Ibid, — Flag Station. — A passenger cannot complain of a railroad company’s refusal to put her off at a flag station short of the destination named in her ticket, although she had been previously permitted to get on and off at such station, there being no allegation that it was ever the custom of the company to so accommodate passengers.</p>
