Syllabus

<p>One who undertakes to cross a railroad track ahead of an approaching train which he knows to be near, is chargeable with the exercise of such caution and prudence as is demanded under the circumstances, and if in disregard of such warnings and admonitions as the circumstances force upon him he takes the risk of crossing and is injured by the passing train, his conduct will be regarded as the sole proximate cause of his injury.</p>
