(a) Every railroad company operating a railroad in this state shall cause all freight and passenger trains running on its roads to stop at all points on its roads where another railroad crosses, joins, unites, or intersects. At those places the company shall take and receive on its trains all passengers, freight, and mail which the railroad so crossing, joining, or intersecting has for shipment at that point and shall carry the passengers, freight, and mail.
(b) The railroad shall also discharge all passengers, freight, and mail consigned to the point of crossing, intersection, or junction of the railroad and which is to be transported, carried, and conveyed on the railroad.
(c) No railroad company shall in any way discriminate against passengers or freight transported or conveyed by any intersecting railroad company.
(d) Any railroad company violating any of the provisions of this section shall forfeit and pay to the company injured thereby double the amount of damages which the injured company may have sustained. This amount shall be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
