When any person is sued as the lessee of a railroad, service of a petition, summons, or other process may be effected by delivering a copy thereof to the depot agent or other officer of such lessee in the county where the action is pending, or by leaving a copy at the place where the usual and ordinary public business of such lessee in said county is transacted.

Annotations
JUDICIAL DECISIONS Single service though defendant sued in double capacity. - Where a corporation is sued in its corporate name generally, and also as lessee of another corporation, for a tort committed jointly by the corporation
individually and as lessee, service of process properly made upon an agent of the corporation is good against it in both capacities. Snipes v. Atlanta & W.P.R.R., 7 Ga. App. 700, 67 S.E. 1046 (1910).
