The liability of a carrier who receives goods marked to a destination beyond its own line is that if the goods are accepted by the carrier, marked to a destination beyond the carrier’s line, and there is no other contract than such as is to be implied from the acceptance of the goods for carriage, the initial carrier is liable for the loss of the goods or injury to them in the hands of the connecting carrier.
