Engines to be approved by the company, and certificate of approval given.

115. No locomotive or other engine, or other description of moving power,
shall at any time be brought upon or used on the railway unless the same have

given to the company by any party desirous of bringing any such engine on
the railway the company shall cause their engineer or other agent to examine
such engine, at any place within three miles distance from the railway, to be
appointed by the owner thereof, and to report thereon to the company; and
within seven days after such report, if such engine be proper to be used on
the railway, the company shall give a certificate to the party requiring the
same of their approval of such engine; and if at any time the engineer or
other agent of the company report that any engine used upon the railway is out
of repair, or unfit to be used upon the railway, the company may require the
same to be taken off, or may forbid its use upon the railway until the same
shall have been repaired to the satisfaction of the company, and upon the
engine being so repaired the company shall give a certificate to the party
requiring the same of their approval of such engine; and if any difference of
opinion arise between the company and the owner of any such engine as to the
fitness or unfitness thereof for the purpose of being used on the railway,
such difference shall be settled by arbitration.
