Swiss cow commutes by train

 

Think of Swiss cows and your mind turns to Alpine meadows, perhaps with edelweiss poking up through the grass. But not on a local commuter train.

Except this one, on Sunday evening, which boarded a Thurbo regional train at St. Fiden in St Gallen canton and rode a few stops to Muolen.

The cow was not alone, of course; it was accompanied by a group of men, said by one Swiss radio station to be drunk. The men were equipped with a bucket of straw as well as brooms and a bucket, presumably in case the cow couldn't fit the train's lavatory.

A Swiss police spokesman told press that the incident had been reported, but they were advised not to intervene. A railroad spokesman added that "We hope at least that there was a valid ticket," and that he hoped the cow "was able to enjoy the ride on our train."

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
