3. Baggage is divided into three categories.
First category.—Domestic goods and furniture in packing cases; more than eight poods per person of either sex cannot be taken at this rate.
Second category.—Animals, carts, agricultural machinery, guns, provisions, can only be taken to the number and extent shown on the back of the tariff certificate.
Third category.—Grain, flour, seed, trees and vines can only be taken up to ten poods per person.
Beyond these limits baggage must be taken at the general commercial tariff.
In the case of loss the railway undertakes to pay the owner forty roubles a pood for baggage in the first category (though not more than 120 roubles for each ticket), six roubles a pood for the second category, and a rouble and a half a pood for the third category.
