Description
HALE, Justice. Appellee brought this suit against appellant to recover damages on account of personal injuries inflicted upon him on July 19, 1950, when appellant's train crew, while engaged in a switching operation, caused its train to strike a box car spotted for unloading on a spur track opposite the warehouse of Bewley Mills. At the time of the collision a steel ramp extending from the warehouse to the car was down, the brakes on the car were set and appellee, an employee of Bewley Mills, was working inside the car. Appellee alleged that the train crew was negligent, among other particulars, in that they failed to give any notice or warning of danger prior to the time the approaching train struck the car and knocked it several steps down the track, tore the steel ramp and supports from the concrete side of the warehouse and knocked appellee backward in the car. Appellant admitted in its trial pleadings and by written stipulation that its train crew negligently permitted its locomotive to back freight cars onto the spur track adjoining the Bewley Mills property on the occasion in question and that such negligence proximately caused its train to strike the car in which appellee was working.
