Can a jury excuse a plaintiff from their duty of looking and listening for trains?

Now, what is there in this case on which any reasonable jury could excuse the deceased from that duty of looking and listening for trains? The moment he passed the loading track his view was unobstructed to the turn in the track 100 rods to the east. He still had 20 feet to stop before reaching the main track. He was not going quickly and he had only to watch one direction. The only difference that I can see between this case and Smith v. C.P.R., supra, is that in the latter case the plaintiff could have seen the train nearly a mile away if he had looked for it. But after all there is no need of looking for trains a mile away. The proper time to look is when reasonably close to the crossing. A car 18 feet over all travelling at 15 miles an hour is only on the track for less than a second and the time to look for trains is when one is close enough to have a full view and be able to judge accurately the safety of the situation.
