Battle and McCulloci-i, JJ., (dissenting.) We think that the testimony of the plaintiff shows plainly that he did not look or listen for approaching trains after he crossed the belt track. He could not see up or down the track until after he passed the belt track, and it was his duty to look and listen at a point, before he went upon the track, where he could see and hear. Stopping to look and listen before he passed the belt track, where the view up and down the other track was so obstructed that he could not see, was not a performance of his duty. According to his own statement of the facts, he was guilty of negligence, and should not recover.
