Every railroad corporation shall receive from every other railroad corporation at any point of connection, freight cars of proper standard and in proper condition, and shall haul the same either to destination, if the destination be upon the lines owned, operated or controlled by such railroad corporation, or to a point of transfer according to route billed, if the destination be upon the line of some other railroad corporation.
