From the Trains newswire:
"GENEVA, Switzerland – Beginning last month Swiss Federal Railways, known throughout Europe as “SBB,” hired a herd of sheep to work in its embankment maintenance department. The herd of 80 sheep works 22 hours a day, tasked with eating the grass along the tracks – a first in Switzerland, USA Today reports.
The sheep have their own website; a Twitter following, #sbbmääh; and a blog, in which the head sheep talks about the herd’s life on the pasture."
AND, we could have nice woolly sweaters!
