Des Moines Oct 18 The Iowa Supreme Court reversed a Jefferson county district court ruling in favor of the Eclipse Lumber Co Fairfield seeking damages from the Chicago Burlington & Quincy for blocking a public avenue with a freight train.

The opinion by Justice Faville also reversed a lower court ruling in a separate case involving Charles Moon and Iowa Fruit Co for a strawberry shipment injury.
