<p>Negligence — Railroads—“Stop, look and listen” — Grade crossing— Pedestrian — Contributory negligence.</p> <p>One who is struck by a moving train that was plainly visible from the point he occupied when it became his duty to stop, look and listen, will be conclusively presumed to have gone negligently into an obvious danger. This rule applies to a pedestrian about to cross at grade four tracks of a railroad, where he had a clear view of the tracks for 2,148 feet in the direction from which the train came.</p>
