Opinion by

The plaintiff’s husband was killed at a grade crossing of the defendant’s road in the city of Chester. He was riding in a butcher’s wagon, which was struck by the rear end of a work train of six or seven cars, which was moving backwards. None of the plaintiff’s witnesses saw the accident. Her case rested on the presumption that the deceased exercised proper care before driving on the track and upon proof that at the time it was dark, foggy and raining, that no notice of the approach of the train was given by bell or whistle, that the safety gate was up, that there was no light at the crossing, and that the only light on the rear of the train was a lantern on the platform of the last car. Her case was met by proof offered by the defendant that there were three points near the tracks but separated by intervening sheds or buildings from which a view of the track for half a mile could be had, that although the night was dark and rainy, the train could be easily seen and distinguished ás a moving train, and that the deceased had been warned by the watchman of the approach of the train and disregarded the warning.

The question raised by the assignments of error is whether the court should have taken the case from the jury. This could not properly have béen done. A mere presumption of *109due care on the part of the person killed at a railroad crossing is met by a presumption of equal force of like care on the part of those in charge of the train: Haverstick v. Penna. R. R. Co., 171 Pa. 101; Hanna v. P. & R. Ry. Co., 213 Pa. 157; or it may be entirely overcome if the facts and circumstances clearly established admit of no other conclusion than that if he had stopped, looked and listened, he would have seen the train: Connerton v. D. & H. Canal Co., 169 Pa. 339; Seamans v. D., L. & W. R. R. Co., 174 Pa. 421. Whether the presumption has been rebutted is for the jury, “unless the evidence to the contrary was clear, positive and credible, and either uncontradicted or so indisputable in weight and amount as to justify the court in holding that a verdict against it must be set aside as a matter of law: ” Patterson v. Pittsburg, etc., Ry. Co., 210 Pa. 47. Where there is any uncertainty as to facts or the inferences to be drawn from them, the case is necessarily for the jury: Cromley v. Penna. R. R. Co., 208 Pa. 445.

There -was nothing in the circumstances connected with the accident that rebutted the presumption of due care on the part of the deceased. It cannot be said with certainty that if he looked ho saw the train, nor that, if he saw it, he observed in the darkness and storm that it was backing to the crossing, since the natural inference from the position of the engine would be that it would move in the opposite direction. The testimony offered by the defendant to rebut the presumption was far from being clear and indisputable. It was wholly discredited by the jury for reasons satisfactory to the learned trial judge, as we learn from his opinion. The testimony on behalf of the plaintiff to show that no signal of the movement of the train was given was more than merely negative. One of her witnesses, who was walking between the tracks in the direction the train was moving and observed it as it passed him and kept it under observation until the accident, testified positively that neither bell nor whistle was sounded. The plaintiff’s case rested upon the presumption of care, unrebutted by proof that would have -warranted the court in holding that it was overcome, and upon testimony tending to show negligence on the part of the defendant. It was clearly for the jury.

The judgment is affirmed.
