Appellate Court of Illinois April 9, 1892 (Chicago & Great Western Railroad v. Wedel)

lead-opinion

Gaby, J.

On this record it appears that the appellee owns a lot, twenty-four feet wide, with a two-story and basement dwelling house upon it, fronting south on Rebecca street, and the appellant has a two-track railroad in operation in the street, the north track of which is nine feet south of the southeast corner and touches the southwest corner of the lot.
