N.Y. Railroad Law § 62: Sleeping and parlor cars

§ 62. Sleeping and parlor cars. Any railroad corporation may contract

with any person, association or corporation for the hauling by the

special or regular trains of said railroad corporation, the parlor,

drawing-room or sleeping car or cars of such person, association or

corporation, in which extra accommodations shall be furnished, for which

said person, association or corporation furnishing such parlor,

drawing-room or sleeping car or cars, may charge for the carriage and

transportation of persons and property therein, a reasonable

compensation for such extra accommodation, in addition to the fare and

charges now allowed by law for the carriage and transportation of

passengers and property in the ordinary cars of said railroad

corporation. But said railroad corporation so contracting shall be

liable in the same way and to the same extent as if the said car or cars

were owned by it, and shall furnish sufficient ordinary cars for the

reasonable accommodation of the traveling public.
