Case Notes
A pedestrian who slipped on a yellow substance similar to feed while he was walking along a state highway railroad crossing could not base an action against the railroad upon this section, inasmuch as the substance in question was not shown to be a destructive or injurious material which the railroad would have a duty to remove.
