The correct answer is: No, she will not win.

Explanation:

To begin with, it is necessary to establish the fact that in the situation presented the company in order to manage the train and all the railroads did not commit negligence due to the fact that it acted correctly when noticing Harris with the ringing bells and flashing lights signaling the approach of an express of their trains and also when painting yellow warning lines on the station platform in order to state that those lines must not be crossed. Therefore that the company did not commit negligence but the one who did was Harris, and that is the reason why in a trial his widow will lose the case.
