While en route, the railroad car carrying the tomatoes was wrecked. Upon Chase’s refusal to pay for the tomatoes, Regan commenced an action to recover the purchase price. Chase defended on the ground that as the shipment was C.O.D., neither title to the tomatoes nor risk of loss passed until their delivery to Chase. Who has title? Who has risk of loss? Explain.
