Mr. Justice Griffin,
joined by Justice Smith, dissenting.
I agree with the holding that this crossing does not constitute an extra-hazardous crossing. However, an examination of the record leads me to believe that the respondent might be liable under allegations and proof of simple negligence. I think this case should have applied to it the same rule which we applied in the recent cases of Eaton, et al v. R. B. George Investments, Inc., 152 Texas 523, 260 S.W. 2d 587 and Benoit v. Wilson, et al, 150 Texas 273, 239 S.W. 2d 792. Rule 505, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.
For that reason I would reverse and remand this cause to the trial court for another trial instead of reversing and rendering.
Opinion delivered November 18, 1953.
Rehearing overruled December 31, 1953.
