Edward Ludwig v. Farmers Shipping

Injury to employe crossing railway track on employer's premises held compensable. Where the location of stockyards wherein the employer transacted its principal business and had its office, near railroad tracks, made it necessary for employe to cross the tracks on a very short road which was the only route to and from the premises, and while so doing the employe was struck by a train and injured, held that the employe is entitled to compensation because his employment subjected him to a degree of exposure, wherein he was injured, greater than the public generally and upon grounds so used as to be substantially and practically a part of the employer's premises.
