Greco v. Long Island Railroad
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided June 15, 1916
174 A.D. 876; 159 N.Y.S. 819
Greco v. Long Island Railroad

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

Judgment affirmed on reargument, with costs. Kent v. Erie R. R. Co. (217 N. Y. 349) is distinguishable. When boarding defendant’s train Greco was not then discharging any duty of his employment. His action, therefore, was unlike the instances of flagmen or brakemen whose particular service makes boarding of moving trains a practice known to, and sanctioned by, the railroad company. Present — Jenks, P. J., Thomas, Carr, Stapleton and Putnam, JJ. Judgment unanimously affirmed on reargument, with costs.
