Concord v. Boston & Maine Railroad

Carpenter, C. J. “ It shall be the duty of the proprietors of every railroad to provide suitable crossings ... for the accommodation of the public.” P. S., c. 159, s. 1. The bridge is a crossing. Until it is made reasonably safe and convenient for the public use it is not suitable. It being agreed that the public safety requires the bridge to be lighted, there must be Judgment for the plaintiffs. All concurred.
