Mast v. Pennsylvania Railroad
Mast v. Pennsylvania Railroad
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
There is no dispute about the fact that C. D. Bush paid for the construction of the railroad siding and the bill of sale to the railroad company only transferred that portion of it on the right of way of the railroad. Employees of the. railroad company removed the connection of the siding with the railroad tracks a considerable time before the siding was taken by the defendant’s employees. There is evidence from which the jury might conclude that the siding taken was not on the right of way of the railroad. Apart from the question of estoppel therefore there was a case presented which would support a verdict for the value of the siding taken, The railroad company did not pay anything for it and unless it was^covered by the transfer of June 11,1907, the plaintiff’s right is clear. All of the labor and all of the material used in constructing the siding having been furnished by Bush
The judgment is therefore affirmed.
