Court Sets Auto Driver Rule on Railroad Crossings
The U S Supreme Court in a case involving the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad set a conduct rule for automobilists at tracks. Justice Holmes said drivers must stop and exit if a train is not clearly far enough away, otherwise it is their risk if the train arrives before they are clear. The ruling frames this as a general rule for all courts.
