56.010 Railroad Crossings; Signals within Municipalities; Bell Within the corporate limits of cities, a railroad company shall not be required either to erect blowposts or to blow the whistles of its locomotives in approaching the crossings or public roads. Instead, the engineer of each locomotive shall be required to signal the approach of the train to the crossing within the corporate limits by constantly tolling the bell of the locomotive. The engineer shall keep and maintain a constant and vigilant lookout along the track ahead of the engine while moving within the corporate limits of a city, town, or village and shall exercise due care in controlling the movements of the engine or train so as to avoid injuring persons or property that may be on the crossing or within fifty feet of the crossing on the line of the railway and shall observe any ordinance of the city, town, or village regulating the speed at which railroad trains may run. O.C.G.A. §46-8-191 A violation of any of the requirements of this code section would constitute negligence, but it would remain for you, the jury, to determine under all the facts and circumstances of the case whether such negligence was the proximate cause of injury.
