Sometimes you just want to ride the rails and escape. At least that is one possible explanation for a horse which found its way onto an Aussie train platform in the middle of the night. The incident occurred at Warwick Farm Railway Station near Sydney in New South Wales. A lovely bay horse wearing a rain sheet is seen standing on the platform alone,  according to a news report in USA Today. The Thoroughbred gelding was found to be a retired racehorse owned by top Australian racing trainer Annabel Neasham, who apparently escaped when an intruder broke into the stables, says another news report. How he got up the stairs and onto the platform is a mystery. The break-in is under investigation.
