Question: Mirski shipped thousands of boxes of cherries from Yakima, Washington, to Cincinnati, Ohio, over the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. The cherries were in good condition when they were delivered to the railroad, but they were spoiled when they arrived at their destination. There was no unusual delay while the cherries were being transported. Mirski sued the railroad for damages. Is the railroad liable? (Mirski v. Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Co., 31 Ill.2d 324, 202 N.E.2d 22)
