On Motion for Rehearing.
Complying with the request of appellee, we find the following facts in addition to those already set out in the original opinion: We find that the street upon which the accident occurred was the main crossing oil the railroad in the town of Pampa; that it was the main business street; that as shown by the map in evidence the accident occurred 210 feet east of Hobart’s office on the main street; that after leaving- Hobart’s office, going toward the main track, there was no obstruction until Tisdale reached the point in ‘the street where the house track ended; that there were several cars on the house track, extending from the line of the street west; that, as shown by the map, it was 50 feet from the house track to the main line where the accident occurred. Between the house track and the main line there was located a box car, about 60 feet west of the street; this box car was on the ground by the side of the main track, and was used as a temporary depot; further-west, 50 feet, and near the house track, was another old box car used for a freight depot; 600 feet west of the street, and located between the house track and the main track, was a wellhouse and pumphouse; that the crossing was used by the town people and by the rural population living 15 or 20 miles southward and eastward from the crossing; that such farming population averaged about one family to each section of land; that at the time of the accident the wheat harvest was on, when travel was most active over the crossing; that there was a considerable transient population in the town at that time; that several buildings were in progress in the town, amongst them a new depot for the appellant; that at the time of the accident work on the depot had-been stopped. Appellant’s employés operating the train knew that the crossing- was an important *352one, and that at times there was heavy traffic over it.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
