text: In the case of Beaumont S.L. & W.R. Co. v. Richmond, supra, a judgment for the plaintiff was affirmed, where it *156 appeared that a train had stopped so that a flatcar was on the crossing; that plaintiff was driving toward a town which was just beyond the crossing; that the night was dark and hazy with a little rain; that as the plaintiff approached the town, a switch light and the crossing sign on the other side of the tracks were visible; that the lights of the town could be seen over the top of the flatcar; that the lights of the automobile tended to shine under the car and along the highway beyond; that there was no flagman or any special signal to warn of the presence of the train on the crossing; and that in spite of the hazy conditions, the plaintiff saw the crossing in time to stop if he could have seen the flatcar obstructing the crossing, but the circumstances created an illusion that the crossing was not occupied.
