Description
The controversy is between two railroad corporations of the State of Texas, each operating by different routes a line from Houston to Fort Worth, and other lines within the State, with connections in other States, and engaged in interstate commerce and subject to the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C.A. § 1 et seq. It arises under Section 1, Pars. (18) and (20) of the Act on the subject of extension of lines. The appellant M.K. and T.R.R. Co., sought an injunction to stay the appellee Texas and New Orleans R.R. Co., from building certain tracks in the edge of the City of Houston without a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Interstate Commerce Commission, asserting that the tracks were an extension of appellees line of railroad under paragraphs (18) and (20). Appellee denied that they were such, alleged that they were spurs and industrial tracks wholly within the State of Texas, not within the authority of the Commission under Paragraph (22); and if they were within Paragraph (18) appellant had built similar tracks nearby and was about to build others and operate them, also without a certificate from the Commission, and injunction was sought by cross-bill to stay the construction and operation of these. There were some minor contentions about rights of way.
