  destruction, damage, deterioration or non-delivery of goods entrusted to it for
  
  carriage, to the consignee or the endorsee producing the railway receipt the
  
  railway administration shall be deemed to have discharged its liability and no
  
  application before the Claims Tribunal or any other legal proceeding shall lie

  endorsee was not legally entitled to receive such compensation.

  person having any interest in the goods to enforce the same against the
