This can’t be helped. Homeless drug addicted vagrants are our new Sacred Cows.

Plus it would be appropriate if the LA Coloseum looked authentically in ruins like the real one in Rome.

Add old fashioned cow-catchers. Worked on the cows.

Why are they slowing down or stopping?

I thought Moonbeam wanted fast trains...

Put cow catchers on the front of the engines like the older engines had to brush aside unwanted obstructions.

Fortunately, technology provides us with a possible solution.

Technology already provided a solution, since 1830: The cowcatcher or cattle catcher was mounted at the front of a locomotive to deflect obstacles on the track that might otherwise derail the train.

Put cow catchers back on the engine, and full speed ahead.

You’re right, just a slip of the pinkie and of the mind.

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/50-000-people-killed-in-train-accidents-in-2-years-says-railways-data-1935855

Nearly 50,000 people have lost their lives between 2015 and 2017 on railway tracks after being hit by trains, according to official data from the Indian Railways. Deaths on railway tracks occur due to trespassing, violating safety and cautionary instructions, avoiding over-bridges, using mobile phones and other electronic gadgets when crossing railway tracks.

That would be an average of about 68 deaths per day, or 2.8 deaths per hour, of every hour, every day, for years.
