Cat Stopped Train

Thursday, 28 October 2010

A poster which has since appeared at Wairarapa railway stations and in Wairarapa train carriages.

IN almost four decades of working in the rail industry, Tranz Metro train manager Wayne Coley has never been attacked by a cat. But preparing the 12.55pm Wairarapa service from Wellington this afternoon (Thursday, 28th November), he made an unexpected discovery in a carriage — a hot and angry Persian cat.

While attempting to catch the now furious feline with some colleagues, Wayne suffered a badly mauled hand which required medical treatment. The train was delayed while a replacement Train Manager came in to take over. Finally placed safely in a box, the cat waited patiently in the Platform Office while the SPCA were called.

I have seen pigeons on Wellington trains before but never a cat.
