RAILROAD MILEAGE ISSUE IN DESPORTES CASE
The court reversal clarifies that mileage coupons create a specific contract when purchased and the holder must seek passage using a ticket if a station agent is available. If no agent or valid reason for absence exists, the holder may tender mileage. DesPortes could have exited at Blackville to obtain a ticket, so the verdict against him stands. This ruling impacts traveling passengers and mileage practices.
