who may be killed or injured by any locomotive, tender, car, similar
vehicle, or train in use contrary to the provisions of this chapter, or who
shall be killed or injured on account of any of the structures forbidden
in sections 11 and 12 of this chapter, shall not be deemed thereby to

tender, car, similar vehicle, or train, or the maintenance of such
unlawful structures named in sections 11 and 12 of this chapter had
