A herd of cows wandered onto a railroad line at the wrong time Tuesday, and it did not end well.
A 6,700-foot Norfolk Southern train plowed through the herd in the darkness about 6 a.m., a statement from the Clark County, Ohio, sheriff's office said.
The train, which was traveling at 38 mph, killed 20 cows, the sheriff's office said. The value of the animals was not known, and the owner was not named.
The accident, which happened about 40 miles west of Columbus, disabled the train's lead locomotive and blocked a rural highway for three hours, the statement said. No humans were injured.
Sad! But they probably suffered less by getting hit by the train then they would have at the slaughter plant!
I love cows.. They are sweet gentle creatures!
Now I don't eat meat or believe In factory farming etc.. I HATE PETA!!!!!!!! Or anyone else that forces their beliefs on people.
@DorkChick- umm I think Spell Check failed halfway through your message! That's what you get for buying a POS iPhone, and I don't care what version you or anyone else has- they're junk!
Norfolk Southern needs a nick name...the Gravy Train.... or Kibbles and bits and bits and bits. Vote NOW!

Value was mentioned in this article. Cows use to be respected, now they just a thing. I for one do not think nor feel the value of these twenty cows should been brought up. God bless them.
Thats is so funny, 20 cows got whacked. If I was there I'd be eating steak. Moooooo
That's more bovine trauma than a Tea Party rally!
im seriously hungry now.
Damn you, NORFOLK SOUTHERN!!!!
This is a diversion for the Mara Salvatrucha to escape from preschool.
Don't bring it up, if you're not going to share.
They should make a Memorial- do you think 20 Big Mac cartons would be appropriate?
I like a good steak like this next person, but animals raised for food should be at least treated with respect and humanely, especailly if they had to die to keep you lot alive.
