The animal was off the tracks at Newark Penn Station by afternoon, New Jersey Transit said in a statement. The agency posted on X, formerly Twitter, a photo of the horned bovine standing on the tracks.
It's unclear how the creature got there or if it's yet been captured. Newark police said there were no injuries reported.
New Jersey Transit referred questions to Newark police. A message seeking more information was left with the department.
The transit agency wrote that service is delayed up to 45 minutes between Newark and Penn Station New York because of “police activity." The photo shows a ruddy brown bull with long dark-tipped horns standing just beneath the station’s platform.
