In a bewildering spectacle that had NJ Transit riders rubbing their eyes in disbelief, a steer - yes, a real live cattle - found its way onto the train tracks at Newark's Penn Station. The misplaced ruminant temporarily obstructed the daily commute, causing traffic delays that lasted for several hours.
The steer, around a year and a half in age and identified as a Texas Longhorn, has since been affectionately named Ricardo. His wild adventure ended safely, thanks to a tranquilizer that allowed him to be moved with minimal fuss. On-site authorities managed to control the situation and get the animal safety off the tracks.
