     § 2303.  Common carrier connections with other lines.
        (a)  General rule.--Every common carrier shall construct and
     maintain, whenever the commission may, after hearing had upon
     its own motion or upon complaint, require the same, such switch
     or other connections with or between the lines of a like common
     carrier, where the same is reasonably practical, to form a
     continuous line of transportation, and to cause the
     transportation of passengers or property between points within
     this Commonwealth to be without unreasonable interruption or
     delay, and shall establish through routes and service therein,
     and joint rates applicable thereto, and, where practicable,
     shall transport passengers or property over the same without
     transfer from the originating facilities. In case of failure of
     the common carriers concerned to agree among themselves upon the
     division of the cost of construction, maintenance, and operation
     of the connections thus provided for, or the allowance to be
     made for the interchange of service, the commission shall
     ascertain and, by order, prescribe and fix the equitable and
     just apportionment and division of the same.
        (b)  Limitation.--Every common carrier and motor carrier is
     hereby prohibited from interchanging, receiving or delivering,
     with, from or to any common carrier by motor vehicle which does
     not have in force a certificate or permit authorizing it to
     transport property within the jurisdiction of this part.
