1Opinion of the Court
LAWSON, Justice.
Southern Railway Company, as the successor to Northern Alabama Railway Company, has maintained railroad tracks through the Town of Parrish, Walker County, Alabama, for a number of years. The two tracks with which we are presently concerned may be said to run in a northerly and southerly direction. North of the depot the two tracks run side by side in a cut, in which-they were placed a number of years ago.
In 1948 the Southern Railway Company widened the cut so as to make it extend eastward a distance of approximately fifty feet from the center of the east track.
