No railroad company, its officers, agents, servants
or employees shall permit or allow any engine, car or train to stand
on any track or siding located within the corporate limits of the
City or upon the crossing of any street of the City, to the interruption
of travel or the blocking of any street, alley or crossing, for a
longer period than five minutes, unavoidable accidents excepted.
The speed of locomotive engines, cars or trains
shall not exceed the rate of 12 miles per hour through the corporate
limits of the City.
The bell of each locomotive shall be rung while
passing through the City.
The enginemen shall be required to sound the
whistle or horn of each locomotive only when approaching a street
or highway crossing within the corporate limits of the City when the
opposite or adjoining track is occupied by another train or draft
of cars.
It shall be unlawful for any railway company
to lay, take up, repair or relay any track within the corporate limits
of the City where such track shall lie upon or cross any street, alley
or highway, unless a permit therefor shall first be obtained from
the Mayor; and after such permit is granted, every track shall be
laid, repaired or relaid in strict conformity with the grade established
by the City upon the streets, alleys or highways traversed or crossed
thereby.
