Indiana, Bloomington, & Western Railway Co., 109 Ind. 422; 9 Northeastern, 702. 12. Traffic Balances. The general usage is, for a railroad company receiving goods destined for a point beyond the terminus of its own road, to deliver them at such terminus to the connecting road, collecting its own freight charges from the latter, and thereby investing it with a lien upon the goods for the money so advanced as well as for its own charges; and this operation is repeated when the second carrier delivers at the end of its route to the third, and so on; the last carrier having a lien both for his own charge and for the accumulated charges of all the preceding carriers, as successively advanced at each connecting point.1 These charges are sometimes demanded on delivery of the goods to the connecting carrier, but more often are made the subject of a book account between the two companies, each debiting the other for through freight delivered to it and crediting the other for through freight received from it. This account is generally rendered and adjusted monthly. The balance found due from one or the other road is termed a " traffic balance." Prepayment in cash is seldom required, except from roads in embarrassed circumstances. It can be required of some, and not of others, at the discretion of the forwaiding company.2 Arrangements of this character between connecting railroads do not create any partnership or joint liability in favor of the shipper.8 1 Conkey v.
