Mr. Miller was driving to Mr. Caster’s watermelon patch and in starting to cross the railroad track he did not see the train until he was almost on the track. He had the presence of mind to do the right thing at the right time, which was to put on the emergency brake with all his strength, bringing the car to a stop so close to the track that the train hit the bumpers and fenders. The car was not knocked clear from the track and was bumped by every car in the train. One fender and one wheel were damaged.
After the train was gone, Mr. Miller says he changed his mind about wanting water melons and drove directly home, and also said he had no excuse to offer.
