443 while the party paying $1 is not subjecting the car to usage. Let us consider the car-service charge in the nature of a penalty. The railroads declare emphatically that revenue from this source is not the object; that they prefer the cars re- leased; that they are not maintaining car-service bureaus as rental agencies, but as instruments whose function is to reduce car detention to a minimum. The collection of car-service charge is not in itself an end, but only a means to an end; therefore... a much larger charge for car detention is imposed than would be justified as rental for storage in order to make it unprofitable for shippers or consignees to detain cars. * The demurrage charge of $1 per car which is usually as- sessed by carriers, is imposed not on the basis of a fair quantum meruit, but as a penalty to secure the prompt release of the car. * §279. Right of Carriers to assess Demurrage Charge. A railroad company is a common carrier. Its duty is to transport freight to destination and to deliver it to the con- signee.
