A cow derailed a train once;!... 13 dead and 61 injured..




I remember that. I think that there was a bit of a fuss at the time as
the train was being run push-pull - pulled as normal to one end of the
line and pushed back to save moving the loco to the other end. I don't
know if that was to save time, effort or of there were no facilities for
running round the train at one or both ends of the line.
