Is it bad if I laughed?

You fuck with the train, you get the air horns. |
|
Quoted:
So does the train stop if it hits a cow or does it keep on rolling and fill out paper work later, if there is any? The conductor has a note pad. At the top it reads "Sorry about your...". As the conductor comes up on whatever is on the track he fills out the last part with a sharpie marker, balls up the note and tosses it out the door near as he can to the carnage. That's how the paperwork is handled. |

I'm no lawyer but I imagine the owner of the cow does not have a claim as he failed to keep the cow off of railroad property. |

Waiting for someone to post the one up where a cow tangled with a train and was left walking around missing the entire face part of the head. Here ya go I didn't embed for the people that'd rather not see the suffering animal. |

Same thing if you hit a cow, bull, steer, whatever, on a public road, you owe the rancher money. Wyoming IS a free range state. There is no paperwork for the train crew. We once ran through a herd of elk, and just let dispatch know. |

It's a real hoot!

This one did it with style: |

Hopefully the guys watches the video he shot in the future so he can remember to slow down. |

Having seen the resultant mess when people get hit, I can't imagine what's left to pick up with a cow  I have been told that animals will sometimes see the rails and think they are trapped so to speak. They will run away from the train but not realize they can just jump over the track and get away. He said it's not uncommon to see it with deer, but it's sad when it's someone's dog. -K |

Usually deer will move if you cut the headlight. Ran over a bunch of other critters. thankfully no people yet. |

On a related note, my 92 year old grandmother was killed while crossing some unmarked rail-road tracks after driving home from outpatient (sedation) surgery; this was decades ago, and I doubt a modern clinic would have released her on her own. We used the rear axle of her Buick on a smoker build; didn't look like the best way to go.
