Important Decision on Freight Train Liability
In Richardson v Southern Pacific at Salem the supreme court held that when a railroad allows the public to ride on certain freight trains, the company becomes a common carrier for those riders. An agreement by a mileage ticket purchaser to relieve the company from damages is void as public policy. The company is liable. The lower court awarded Richardson $925 for injuries from a sudden stop on a freight train.
