Shawn purchased a horse and organized for its delivery by train. Unfortunately, Shawn was not present when the train arrived and could not be contacted to take delivery. An employee of the train company

arranged for the horse to be kept in a commercial stable for the night.

Shawn refused to pay for the cost of stabling, arguing that he was not the one who made the contract with the stable owner.

Explain the nature of the authority, if any, that the train company employee would have had in the given scenario to act on Shawn's behalf.
