48:12-145. Failure to run daily trains; receiver; exceptions
If a railroad company shall fail or neglect to run daily trains on any part of its road for a space of 10 days the Superior Court, on petition of a citizen of this State and on due proof of the facts, may appoint a receiver who shall take possession of all of the real estate and personal property of the company and operate the road and transact the ordinary business thereof in the transportation of freight and passengers for such time as the Superior Court may direct.
All expenses incurred thereby shall be a first lien on all the earnings of the company prior to any other claim and the surplus if any shall be distributed as the Superior Court may direct. The receiver shall apply all unencumbered personal property not required in the operation of the road and all moneys transferred to him at the time of his appointment, towards the payment of wages then due to employees of the company, not exceeding 2 months' wages.
This section shall not apply to a railroad at any seaside resort built principally for the transportation of summer travelers nor to a temporary suspension necessary to complete, reconstruct or change the grade of any railroad.
