ScotRail said Tuesday on Twitter that the large, long-haired cow had escaped from the nearby Pollok Country Park and wandered onto the tracks near Glasgow, blocking the path of a commuter train.
NEW: We’ve had reports of a couple of Highland Cows on the railway line at #Busby. We think they’re on the run from Pollok Park…We’ll get them moooooved as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience.^Megan
Absolute unit spotted on the track at Pollokshaws West. Sorry if you’re being delayed due to this. @NetworkRailScot track staff on their way to attempt to encourage these coos to mooove back to the park. ^CT
Network Rail Scotland later tweeted a video showing the cow being led away from the tracks by a person with a bucket of food.
The cow was returned to the park, along with some of its bovine brethren that escaped at the same time.
Commuters were delayed for about an hour during the cow crisis, officials said.
Our teams are beginning to arrive on-site to deal with this issue and mooove this Highland Coo so trains can run again safely.
