§ 37-9-802 — Penalty; exceptions

Any owner or operator of a railroad running through or within
this state as a common carrier of persons or property or both,
for compensation, who either operates for its employees, or who
furnishes to its employees for their transportation to or from
the place or places where they are required to labor, a rail
track motor car that has not been fully equipped as required by
W.S. 37-9-801, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and fined
not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) nor more than five
hundred dollars ($500.00) for each offense, and each day or part
of a day it operates or furnishes each of the rail track motor
cars not so equipped as provided in W.S. 37-9-801, to its
employees for operation to or from the place or places where
they are required to work shall constitute a separate offense,
provided that any common carrier that has not been able to equip
its rail track motor cars as required by the provisions of W.S.
37-9-801, on or before the effective date can, by applying to

shall not be applicable to those carriers securing an order for
additional time in which to equip their cars during the period
granted to them only by order of the department.
