Syllabus
<p>1. Au agreement, between a landowner and a railroad company to convey to the latter a right of way across the premises of the former, covers all damages, of whatever sort, suffered by the landowner, for which he is legally entitled to recover compensation: North & W. Br. Ry. Co. v. Swank, 105 Pa. 555; Hoffeditz v. Railway Co., 129 Pa. 264.</p> <p>2. Wherefore, a release to a railroad company, by a landowner, of all claims for damages which may accrue by reason of the construction and maintenance of the railroad, is a bar to a recovery for injuries caused by a ditch and culvert constructed by the company upon its right of way subsequently to the original location and construction of the railroad.</p>
