Cox v. Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad
Nevada Supreme Court
Decided April 4, 1936No. 3126PublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
The evidence is insufficient to justify the decision that defendants' were negligent. Such decision is against law. The cases uniformly support the rule to the effect that the leaving of cars by a railroad company on its tracks in such a position as to obstruct the view of a traveler at a crossing is not negligence per se. Headnote to 47 A.L.R. 287. Nor does such leaving of cars constitute negligence even though the same be left there unnecessarily and for an unreasonable length of time. Adams v. Missouri, K. T.R. Co. (Kans.), 241 P. 1086; Missouri, K. T.R. Co. v. Perino (Okla.), 247 P. 41.
