On Rehearing.
We grant the request of plaintiff in error for the incorporation in, and we hereby include in, the opinion disposing of this case the following testimony given by Partney:
“Yes; when I drove between the ends of those two big automobile freight cars standing on the side track nearly 2 feet away, and when. I drove out from there approaching the mainline of the railway, I had to drive to where my engine would be hit by a train before I could see up and down the track, and as I drove out on that main line track I leaned over my steering wheel to peep towards the Troup depot, and I did peep toward the Troup depot and all the other way as well, to see if a train was coming. I looked both ways for that purpose, and it was coming right there at that time; that is right. I peeped over there because I thought one might be coming, sure, I thought it might come, and that is the reason why I was looking for it, I was expecting it. * * * If I did not stop and take any precaution in the world in time to see a train, so as to save myself, I did not see any negligence in it; I didn’t háve any — no, I did not stop in time for a train passing there to have failed to hit the truck. No; I did not get a view up and down the main line of the railroad in both directions, or in either direction, for an approaching train before my truck got in reach of a passing train. Yes; I knew when I drove up there that if a train were coming from either direction that I could not see it.”
