Syllabus

<p>The rule requiring one about to cross the tracks of a railroad company, D stoP> Dole and listen for an approaching train, is a clear and certain rule of duty, and a failure to observe it is more than evidence of negligence, it is negligence of itself.</p> <p>2. Moreover, the rule is applicable as to railroad crossings in cities and towns, as well as to crossings in the open country, and whether safety-gates are maintained at street crossings or not, and whether or not ordinances regulating the speed of approaching trains are observed by the railroad company.</p>
