Teitsort v. Illinois Central Railroad Co.

This is a suit for personal injuries. The injuries were suffered by plaintiff on the nicht of August 27, 1921, at a place where a roadway in Haven Hill Cemetery, in or adjacent to the city of Olney, in the State of Illinois, crossed defendant’s railroad. Plaintiff fell upon the crossing at the time one of defendant’s trains was approaching, and before he could extricate himself both of his feet were cut off by the -passing train. As defendant’s liability depends largely, if not wholly, on the character of the crossing, the facts with reference to that will be set forth somewhat at length.
