Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court May 29, 1947 (Esau v. Trustees of New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad)

Honan, J.

The plaintiff on the afternoon of February 12, 1946, travelled along the platform or walk leading to the Weymouth station of the defendants’ railroad where he procured a time table, as he was planning a trip to Boston on the next day. He stood in the station a few minutes reading the time table, and then left the station intending to retrace his steps and go to the street.
