Michigan Supreme Court July 28, 1892 (Powers v. Thayer Lumber Co.)

G-rant, J.

Plaintiff’s decedent, John Haney, was employed as brakeman on one of defendant’s logging-trains. The defendant was engaged in getting out logs, and for this purpose constructed a railroad about eight miles in length into the woods. It constructed branches as its business required. After removing the timber in one locality the rails and ties were taken to another.
