 Sec. 20-19. Flagmen or signals required at railroad crossings. All companies operating railroad lines within the city are hereby required to observe the following provisions at the crossings of such lines with streets or highway in the city: Whenever any locomotive or car approaches a crossing on any line of track, it shall be brought to a standstill until a flagman or other employee advances to the center of the crossing and signals to the engineer, motorman or other person in charge of the locomotive or car whether it is safe to advance across the crossing. In lieu of this, the company may maintain at crossings a permanent flagman, during all hours of the day and night, whose duty it shall be to signal all locomotives and cars and all passersby whether it is safe to advance across the crossing; provided, however, this section shall not affect or have application to railroad companies maintaining approved automatic electric warning stop signals or automatic electric stop gates at crossings. (Code 1956, § 20-2) Trying to find out about the Lake Charles deal about horn blowing and came across this. Does anybody do this in Lake Charles at non-electric crossings? Mike
