Description

The railroad track was straight for a distance of 1,200 feet from the point where Taylor was struck, with a downgrade of 14 1/2 feet every 1,200 feet. The evidence tends to prove that the train was approaching the spot where the decedent was lying at a speed of some 30 to 35 miles per hour. There was no speedometer on the locomotive. The engineer, Huffman, was sitting at his post on the right-hand side of the cab of the locomotive. He had been in the employ of the railroad for 28 years, and the other members of the crew consisted of a conductor and a brakeman. The conductor was sitting in the cab but did not see what happened because he was busily engaged in making up train sheets. Taylor was dressed in clothes described by some of the witnesses as similar to khaki army clothes. He wore dark shoes.
