Sec. 6. Each carrier subject to this chapter shall provide and permanently keep at each billing station on its line in Indiana where it handles carload shipments a substantially bound book, which shall be in the form prescribed by the Indiana department of transportation, suitable for permanently recording and preserving the information required by this section and other information as the department may prescribe concerning the subject matter of this chapter. Any applicant for cars for use at a station shall record in the book the date of application showing the number and kind of cars required, when required, for what kind of loading, the point of destination, and other information as the department prescribes. If it is not practical or possible for the applicant to apply in person, then application may be made in writing or by wire, and if made in writing or by wire, then one (1) authentic copy shall be furnished the local agent for filing in the local agent's office, which copy shall constitute a part of the lawful record. Each carrier shall furnish to the applicant, in not less than forty-eight (48) hours after 6 p.m. of the day of filing such application, the cars so required, unless the cars are not so soon required, in which case they shall be furnished when required. The carrier's agent at every station shall record in the book the date the cars were furnished and billed out, and other information as the department may prescribe in the form for the record, and every record, or a properly authenticated copy, shall be competent evidence in all the courts of this state and before the department concerning the matters required to be recorded in the book. A carrier shall not be required to furnish cars for shipment unless applied for under this section. The distribution and delivery of coal cars to coal mines on carriers' lines in this state are not controlled by this section.
