The plaintiff was riding with her husband *573on the front seat of the automobile. They were driving north on Tenth Street toward a double crossing of the defendant’s railway. That is to say, two parallel lines of track crossed the street in near proximity to each other. The defendant’s train was west bound. According to plaintiff’s evidence, the automobile approached the crossing at the rate of 10 or 12 miles per hour, driving in second speed. The train approached such crossing at the rate of 30 or 40 miles per hour, and in violation of a speed ordinance.
As bearing upon the question of contributory negligence, the plaintiff and her husband were familiar with the crossing, and knew the danger naturally incident thereto. At a point 116 feet from the crossing, the automobile was stopped, for the purpose of an errand at a saloon. At that point, the eastward view of the railway tracks was obstructed by a building abutting upon the street. This line of obstruction was passed at a point 55 feet from the crossing, at which point the railway came into view for a distance of several hundred feet, there being a straight track eastward from the depot for a distance of 600 feet. The plaintiff testified that at this point she looked eastward along the track, and saw no train. Her husband testified likewise. They both testified, also, that there was no train at that time within their range of vision. The train must have been at that time, however, within 200 or 300 feet of the crossing, and in plain view of the plaintiff and her husband. The accident occurred between 6 and 7 o’clock in the evening in February. The train had a strong headlight, which threw its light along the track, within a zone extending 30 feet on each side. The plaintiff and her husband testified, also, that they did not discover the train until the moment of the collision. It is clearly a case where the physical facts conclusively contradict the plaintiff, and prove conclusively that, if she looked, she saw the train, and if she did not see the train, it was because she did not look.
*574Analogous cases are quite numerous in our reports. Artz v. Chicago, R. I. & P. R. Co., 34 Iowa 153; Bloomfield v. Burlington & Western R. Co., 74 Iowa 607; Reeves v. Dubuque & S. C. R. Co., 92 Iowa 32; Payne v. Chicago & N. W. R. Co., 108 Iowa 188; McLeod v. Chicago & N. W. R. Co., 125 Iowa 270; Powers v. Iowa Cent. R. Co., 157 Iowa 347.
We think the trial court properly sustained the motion to dismiss, and its order is — Affirmed.
