1Opinion of the Court
VANCE, Commissioner.
A moving train operated by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company obstructed a city street in Covington, Kentucky, for approximately nine minutes. An ordinance of the city made it unlawful for any person or corporation to operate or permit the operation of a train in such a manner as to interfere with the use of a public street for travel purposes for a period of more than five minutes. Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company was found guilty of a violation of the ordinance and fined $250.00.
We sustain the motion for appeal and affirm the judgment.
