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.
Coulda been suicide
I didn't think of that. A bovine suicide cult. I think CNN should send out a crack investigative team.
If it were pigs, it would have been sooee-cide.
emo cows
Seriously, Norfolk Southern is not a passenger train...geeez...When do we eat!?
Would have been fun to watch IMO.
Beef. It's what's for dinner.
Nice!
I guess those poor cows were headed to the slaughter house. Either way, its a sad situation for those defenseless creatures. Sometimes I see them in the hot sun all die. What a life. Most people just don't care.
farmers are required to provide shade zones for their livestock, most do anyways.
the cows choose to graze in the sun, they can retreat to shade when they feel overheated (and its rare they do.)
the more you know dude.
Stupid me, "all day, not "all die."
PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals

I understand the owners. A Mr and Mrs Bo Vine failed to properly TRAIN their cattle. Now I hear of an attempt to MILK this incident for all its worth!
