Passengers on a train in the Netherlands said their trip was delayed when the conductor stopped to help a calf in distress.
The
Arriva train between Groningen and Leeuwarden stopped for about 45
minutes Friday when the driver of the train spotted a calf stuck in a
water-filled ditch between the villages of Grijpskert and Buitenpost and
decided to help, DutchNews.nl reported Tuesday. Passengers told the
Leeuwarder Courant the driver and several passengers attempted to help
the calf, but it remained stuck until firefighters arrived to pull it
from the ditch.
“It had only just been born, the umbilical cord was still attached,” one passenger said of the calf.
The
farmer who owns the calf said he has dubbed the newborn Arriva after
the train company. “The calf is in great shape. I just hope the driver
did not get into trouble,” the farmer said.
