Description
This case comes to the court on separate general motions for a new trial filed on behalf of both defendants following a verdict for the plaintiff for $600 against both defendants. There are no exceptions. The material facts are not in dispute. From the evidence it definitely and clearly appears that the plaintiff, late at night in midwinter, was travelling as a passenger in an automobile, driven by the defendant St. Laurent, along a highway in the City of Auburn, across which the defendant Canadian National Railways maintained a crossing at grade; that, within a few minutes prior to the time when the automobile reached the crossing, a special freight train, operating on a fixed daily schedule and approximately on time, was stopped there for the purpose of cutting out three freight cars and placing the same upon a siding; that the train was a relatively long one and extended more than seven hundred feet along the track both north and south of the highway; and that a refrigerator car about forty feet long and nine feet high, painted yellow with black lettering, extended across and completely blocked the highway. The night was clear but dark, and the road surface somewhat slippery. The plaintiff was not familiar with the crossing.
