Description
Plaintiff was thoroughly familiar with the crossing at which the accident occurred. The road was a pathway across his farm which extended across the railroad tracks to the west. He used the crossing frequently in going to and from town and from one part of his farm to another. On the day of the accident he was on his way to that part of his farm which lies to the west of the railroad. He stopped at a point near the track where he could see to the north for a distance of 75 or 80 yards, yet he did not see the train until it was within 25 or 30 feet of him. When he stopped, he first looked to the north and then to the south and then proceeded toward the track without again looking north. Had he proceeded to a point just beyond the bank as he could have done in safety, he would have had an unobstructed vision to the north for a distance variously estimated from one-half to two miles. In this connection his wife testified: "I go across the crossing where this accident occurred. I passed there that very day . . . If I get right down near the track I can look down and see but I couldnt see if I were with the embankment back there. I have to be almost on the track to see down it because I have to stop there every time to get across."
