cross each other at grade, engineers and conductors must cause the trains of which they are
in charge to come to a full stop within 100 feet of such crossing and not to proceed until
they know the way to be clear, the train on the railroad having the older right-of-way being
entitled to cross first; but the provisions of this section shall not be applicable where
crossings of such roads are regulated by interlocking crossing or derailing switches, or other
safety appliances of like kind to prevent collisions at crossings, nor where a flagman or

may cross in safety. (Code 1867, §1403; Code 1876, §1702; Code 1886, §1145; Code 1896,
