The Law Explained

Putting a sheep on a railroad track is a severe offense, specifically if your explicit goal is to derail or damage the oncoming locomotive. During the height of the railroad expansion, disputes between ranchers and rail companies sometimes escalated into creative sabotage. The law remains as a testament to the strange warfare of the Old West.
