When first reading the post, I had pondered a very smart fox, knowing the train timetable and escaping the hounds by darting across the tracks.
But, you have now commented that fox hunting no longer occurs, only lure hunting.
The lady driver hitting them cows was probably fortunate that her train didn't derail.
In 2008 a DB ICE hit sheep inside Landruecken tunnel and derailed.
The Deutschers bung crossovers inside long tunnels.
That crossover playing a part in the derailment when sheep got jammed under the Triebwagen.
Yes, I could imagine the pong from the mess.
Put you off eating steak or lamb for a while.
Here, cowcockies are responsible for maintaining their boundary fence adjoining the rail corridor.
Train crew were always required to compile a Casualty Report when ever snotting stock on the line.
Not sure what goes on these days under privatization.
