CACI No. 2901
Negligence—Duty of Railroad
A railroad must use reasonable care under the circumstances to provide
its employees with a reasonably safe place to work and with reasonably
safe and suitable tools, machinery, and appliances. The reasonableness of
care depends on the danger associated with the workplace or the
equipment. The failure to use reasonable care is negligence. A railroad is
not negligent if, using reasonable care, it could not reasonably have
foreseen that the particular condition could cause injury.
[Name of defendant] is responsible for the negligence of any of its officers,
agents, or employees.
