	Alcorn v. Union Pacific Railroad(2001) * Missouri
		Union Pacific also argues that, given the need to obtain state approval to install additional warning devices, the railroad could not have installed such devices before her accident on August 29, 1997; thus, the claimed breach of duty was not a proximate cause of her injuries.
		Union Pacific and Amtrak contend evidence of the prior accident and "near misses" at the County Road 501 crossing was not sufficiently similar to Alcorn's accident to meet the foundation for admissibility.
		Railroad warning devices, which are installed or maintained by order or by rule of the division of transportation, are presumed to be adequate and appropriate warning devices for the crossing.

	97-7139 -- Richardson v. Missouri Pacific Railroad Co. -- 08/09/1999
		Based on this language, Union Pacific asserted in response to Richardson's current claim that Richardson is not suffering from a new injury, but is undergoing a natural worsening of the 1986 injury or is suffering from a new symptom that "arose out of" the 1986 injury.
		Although this is not, as Union Pacific claims, a defense of accord and satisfaction, it is a contractual defense that Union Pacific is entitled to raise and present to a jury.
		Union Pacific does not contend the release shielded it from liability for unrelated post-1986 injuries, but only for liability from those injuries that constituted mere manifestations of the 1986 injury or for those injuries "arising out of" the 1986 injury.

	History of the role of the Missouri Pacific Railroad in Hoisington, KS
		The first rail laid through Hoisington was 56 pound rail, just about half the weight of the present rails. Through the level part of the country the track was laid on the prairie without grading, later being ditched and the track raised on a grade by filling under it.
		In the depression days the railroad was host to multitudes of unemployed. Among those who were removed from a train in the Hoisington yards was a man booked as William H. Dempsey.
		Many of the families who now live in the Hoisington area are descendants of those who came at the instigation of the railroad, either to farm along its route or to work its right-of-ways, its shops or on its trains.
