A racehorse arrived at a train station in Sydney, Australia, instead of a train. After a quarter of an hour of walking on the platform, the racehorse was neutralized by its trainer.
For fear of seeing this curious traveler board, a train when it arrived at the station remained closed. The episode was described as "a little bit unusual" by Matt Longland, the chief executive of Sydney Trains, the local rail network. "It’s not every day that you see a horse on the quay,” joked the Minister of Transport for the State of New South Wales, Jo Haylen. “I’ve never seen a horse in my life. I’m not used to seeing them," said the horse's trainer, who put the animal in a van and took it to a nearby stables to be trained. "They’re just so cute," said one passenger, "I just want to take a picture of them."
