CORPORATIONS. 817

railroad or private side-track owned, operated or controlled by such ship-
per, and shall, upon the application of any shipper, provide upon its own
property a side-track and switch connection with its line of railroad, when-
ever such side-track and switch connection is reasonably practicable, can
be put in with safety and the business therefor is sufficient to justify the
same.

If any railroad corporation shall fail to install or operate any such
switch connection with a lateral line or railroad, or any such side-track
and switch connection as aforesaid, after written application therefor has
been made to it, any corporation or person interested may present the facts
to the commission by written petition, and the commission shall investigate
the matter stated in such petition, and give such hearings therein as it may
deem necessary or proper. If the commission be of the opinion that it is
safe and practicable to have a connection, substantially as prayed for,
established or maintained, and that the business to be done thereon justifies
the construction and maintenance thereof, it shall make an order directing
the construction and establishment thereof, specifying the reasonable
compensation to be paid for the construction, establishment and mainten-
ance thereof, and may in like manner upon the application of the railroad
corporation, order the discontinuance of such switch connection.
See notes to sec. 381.

every route leased, operated or controlled by it; and between each point
on its route or upon any route leased, operated or controlled by it, and
all points upon the route of any other common carrier, whenever a through
route and joint route shall have been established or ordered between any
two such points. If no joint rate over the through route has been established,
the several carriers in such through route shall file, print and keep open
to public inspection, as aforesaid, the separately established rates, fares and
charges applied to the through transportation. The schedules printed as
aforesaid shall plainly state the places between which property and passen-
gers will be carried, and shall also contain the classification of passengers,
freight or property in force, and shall also state separately all terminal
charges, storages, icing charges, and all other charges which the commission
may require to be stated, all privileges or facilities granted or allowed, and
any rules or regulations which may in any wise change, affect or determine
any part of the aggregate of such aforesaid rates, fares and charges, or the
value of the service rendered to the passenger, shipper or consignee. Such
schedules shall be plainly printed; copies thereof for the use of the public
shall be kept posted in public and conspicuous places in depots, stations
and offices of every common carrier where passengers or property are
received for transportation, in such manner as to be readily accessible to
