Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 56, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 March 1915 — Trespassers on Railroads. [ARTICLE]

Trespassers on Railroads.

A state law forbidding trespass on railroad property may at first seem like a hardship to a good many persons who have been in the habit of using such rights of way as public highways, but there is sound sense in Judge Tuttle’s plea for legislation. The loss of life and limb through trespass is enonpous all over the country, running up into the thousands and scores of thousands annually, and quite putting in the shade any real or fancied advantage which comes to the public as a result of its assumed right to amble all over railroad property.—Detroit Free Press.
