Reeser v. Philadelphia & Reading Railway Co.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided May 7, 1906 · Brown, Curtam, Fell, Mestrezat, Mitchell, Potter
215 Pa. 136; 64 A. 376; 1906 Pa. LEXIS 750

Reeser v. Philadelphia & Reading Railway Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curtam,

The learned judge below found that the agreement with Ruth was valid as to him and binding on the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company as the successor of the Lebanon Valley Railroad Company, the original party. But he also found that Krick, the other defendant, as an adjoining landowner, had a statutory right to connect with the railroad by a switch or siding of which he could not be deprived by any agreement of the railroad with a third party.

The judgment is affirmed on so much of his opinion as covers this branch of the case.
