Okay... so who removed the cowcatcher?

No joke: while doing research on an unrelated topic, I came across an Illinois legal opinion with nearly the same set of facts (the train was not a “tourist” train). It was written in 1858, or thereabouts.

The cows have begun their revolution, but the sheeple still refuse to look up.

there was no damage to the train

How about the cow?

I rode that train in April the other direction, Adelaide to Darwin. Two comments. It is not just a tourist train. It is a major connection from southern Australia to northern Australia. It is a bit expensive but a wonderful trip. Marvelous food (including camel, emu, and kangaroo). Comfortable and clean. Would do it again.

We saw a lot of cows, a few camels, no kangaroos. The scenery reminded us of going through the panhandle of Texas except for the trees. They are very different.
