In 1887 the plaintiff and her husband conveyed to the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City Railway Company for a right of way a strip of ground one hundred feet in width across the plaintiff’s farm. The deed was without reservation or condition. Clanton Creek crosses plaintiff’s land east and west just south of the defendant’s right of way. Just south of plaintiff’s house a draw from the north extended to Clanton Creek, and at the time the defendant’s road was constructed there was a wagon road down this draw to a ford at the ■ creek. It was not a public highway, but a road that was used by the public, and by the plaintiff in reaching the creek and the south part of her farm. The construction of the defendant’s road required a fill across the plaintiff’s land. At the east side of the farm it was four or five feet high, and at the west side something less. The track crossed the draw of which we have spoken at an elevation of about ten feet. This draw was bridged when the defendant’s road was built, the bridge consisting of three spans, each about twelve feet wide and seven or eight feet high. Prom the time of the construction of the road in 1887 until this action was commenced the plaintiff used the west span of said bridge as an undertrack crossing. In 1908 the defendant began the construction over this draw of a cement culvert or bridge, with an opening four by five feet, and threatened to fill the balance of the opening under the old bridge. Thereupon this action was brought to enjoin the defendant from destroying the plaintiff’s undertraclc crossing.

i. Railroads: undertrack crossings: contract: evidence. The plaintiff pleaded, and now relies upon a written agreement between herself and the original company by the terms of which she was to have the t , t . ,. , » undertrack crossing m question and -a surface . _ _ r crossing west thereof as a part of the con- ° # sideration for the right of way granted. The evidence is overwhelming that both of these crossings *465were agreed upon by tbe plaintiff and the representative of the railroad company. The doubtful question, if there be one, is whether there was an independent written agreement therefor executed at the time of the conveyance. No such agreement was produced on the trial, and the plaintiff relies upon the testimony of witnesses who claim to have been present at the time it was executed. There is sufficient foundation for secondary evidence; and, if the plaintiff’s witnesses are entitled to credit, there was a written agreement for this undertrack crossing. Mr. Clark, the right of way agent who conducted the negotiations and procured the conveyance for the railroad company, testifies that, if any agreement had been made for an undertrack crossing, it would' have been in writing. His testimony tends to contradict the plaintiff and her witnesses as to the execution of such a writing, but the most that he can say about it is that he did not usually make such contracts, and that he has no recollection of making one with the plaintiff. The plaintiff herself, while testifying that such an agreement was made, thought that it was embodied in the deed, and because of her testimony the defendant says she should have no relief. The plaintiff was past seventy years of age when she testified. The business was transacted more than twenty years before, and was conducted by her husband, so it is not strange that she was not certain as to the details of it. She testified that Mr. Clark read such an agreement to her, or in her presence, and as it was not written in the deed, it must have been an independent writing, as other witnesses testify. Eraud on the part of Mr. Clark will not be presumed.

The appellants contend that the evidence is not olear and satisfactory as to the terms of the lost writing. The evidence is clear and explicit as to the agreement for the two crossings, and the witnesses say that such agreement was put in writing and signed. It was not, and could *466not be, a complicated agreement. The essence and substance of it was that there should be an undertrack and a surface crossing, 'and we think the evidence clearly shows that it was so written.

2. Same: existing crossings: notice to subsequent purchaser. In- 1893 the Chicago, Great Western Railway Company became the owner of the road by purchase, and it is urged that it had no notice of the plaintiff’s right to the under crossing. The evidence shows that the right of way fences were swung in and attached to the ends of the bridge, and that there was a traveled way under the bridge when the defendant purchased. In other words, there were all of the indicia of an under crossing, and enough to put the purchaser upon inquiry. Swan v. Ry. Co., 72 Iowa, 650; Rock Island & P. Ry. Co. v. Dimick, 144 Ill. 628 (32 N. E. 291, 19 L. R. A. 105); McCann v. Day, 57 Ill. 101.

The judgment is right and it is therefore affirmed.
