Yeah, I think the owners found it later that evening around midnight. It ran off into a farmer's field. Traffic began moving normal speeds in a matter of minutes after I left the scene.
Nice SD70M-2 in the lead! Looks like the runaway horse is trying the Thoroughbred of Transportation, lol! He should not go loose near rail property, he needs either leashed in a rope or have a saddle on him and have the person ride him. I'm glad he was okay!
Haha i thought u meant a runaway Horsehead schemed Loco..lol good thing i read first eh? But nice night video, love the intermodal trains, thats a big chunk of what rolls past here all the time.
I know that's what a lot of people will think, but nope, just the spare horsepower out for a nightly walk on the tracks :). This is something you don't see everyday...heh, never a dull moment, I bet the engineers had a laugh after that one. Probably a horse and buggy runaway! lol.
god bless the train for stopping=)) worth it because they wont get the rep of being cruel, better than saving money and hitting the animal

Wierd that NS cares enough about one horse to slow all trains. I bet that cost them more money than a new horse costs.

Horse is okay now? Did they already take the horse way to Animal Shelters or lost it?

I don't know what to say, could this just be a nightmarish bad luck charm for Norfolk Southern?
THIS WOULD GO DOWN AS A SICK RECORD IN NORFOLK SOUTHERN'S HISTORY HAD THEY HIT AND KILLED THE STUPID HORSIE!

SD70M-2 Turbo charged 4300HP diesel. Sounds so good. YOU know there was NO WAY The NS dudes (Horsehead boys) were going to hit that horse.

all the horse wants is for somone to mount couplers to him, so he can help his bigger companions.
