Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Railroads, Vol. 8 In using the table Of cases, it should be borne in mind that courts and text-books sometimes cite cases with the full name of the railroad corporation, sometimes with the brief or popular name, and often merely as Railroad. SO far as possible, different citations Of the same case, from different sources, have been placed under the full and proper name of the road; but as it has not been always practicable to trace up the cases inadequately cited, the reader who cannot find the case he seeks under its full title, will do well to look also under the word Railroad.
