Northward advancement of goats lazing on railway construction sites
In an unusual turn of events, a herd of goats caused a disruption on the S-Bahn tracks in the Flensburg area, near a solar park.
According to reports from the federal police, around 8:15 PM, five goats escaped from a paddock in Harrislee and made their way onto the railway tracks. The animals managed to get through a hole in the fence of the solar park.
The incident led to the temporary suspension of train traffic on the Padborg-Flensburg line. As a result, train services were delayed for a total of 165 minutes.
The federal police officers were quickly dispatched to the scene to herd the goats back onto the paddock in the solar park. The temporary fence repair was carried out using plastic handcuffs.
Unfortunately, no specific information about the goats' species or types was provided. However, the life danger mentioned in the headline was related to the goats on the S-Bahn tracks.

In the realm of environmental science, the goats' escape from their paddock and subsequent disruption on the S-Bahn tracks could potentially impact future efforts to promote animal-rail cooperation in the region, considering the weather conditions at the time of the incident. Furthermore, the invasion of these goats into a solar park raises questions about the need for better environmental studies and management strategies within renewable energy infrastructure.
