2006 New York Code - Discrimination Prohibited; Connecting Lines.

 
    § 106. Discrimination   prohibited;  connecting  lines.  Every  common
  carrier shall afford all reasonable, proper and equal facilities for the
  interchange of passenger and property traffic between the  lines  owned,
  operated, controlled or leased by it and the lines of every other common
  carrier,  and  for  the prompt transfer of passengers and for the prompt
  receipt and forwarding of property to and from its said  lines;  and  no
  common  carrier  shall  in  any manner discriminate in respect to rates,
  fares or charges or in respect to any  service  or  in  respect  to  any
  charges  or  facilities for any such transfer in receiving or forwarding
  between any two or more other common carriers or between  passengers  or
  property  destined  to  points  upon  the lines of any two or more other
  common carriers or in  any  respect  with  reference  to  passengers  or
  property  transferred  or  received  from  any  two or more other common
  carriers. This section shall not require a common carrier to  permit  or
  allow any other common carrier to use its tracks or terminal facilities.
  Every common carrier shall receive from every other common carrier, at a
  connecting  point,  freight  cars  of proper standard, and haul the same
  through to destination,  if  the  destination  be  upon  a  line  owned,
  operated  or  controlled  by such common carrier, and such service shall
  not be construed as requiring a common carrier to permit  or  allow  any
  other common carrier to use its tracks or terminal facilities; or if the
  destination be upon a line of some other common carrier, to haul any car
  so  delivered  through  to  the  connecting  point  upon the line owned,
  operated, controlled or leased by it, by way of route  over  which  such
  car  is  billed,  and  there  to deliver the same to the next connecting
  carrier. Nothing in this section  shall  be  construed  as  limiting  or
  modifying  the  duty of a common carrier to establish joint rates, fares
  and charges for the transportation of passengers and property  over  the
  lines  owned,  operated,  controlled  and  leased by it and the lines of
  other common carriers, nor  limiting  or  modifying  the  power  of  the
  commissioner to require the establishment of such joint rates, fares and
  charges.  A  railroad company and a street railroad company shall not be
  required to interchange cars except on such terms and conditions as  the
  commissioner may direct.
