Calling the police
The only other choice was to contact the police. It sounded absurd to ask police assistance in capturing or chasing away a stray puppy, but the longer this delay lasted, the more train traffic would be disrupted, and the more money it would all cost.
Calling The Police
15 valuable minutes
Because all of this was taking place at a major train station, the cops arrived shortly. But first, they needed to pick up some equipment from animal control, which would take around 15 minutes. 15 priceless minutes...
15 Valuable Minutes
Getting some trains to pass
While the staff waited for the police to arrive, they did their utmost to ensure that at least some trains passed through safely. They attempted to lure the puppy to one of the tracks so that a train could slowly make its way onto the other track and continue its voyage.
Getting Some Trains To Pass
Very dangerous
It was a sluggish and perilous prose. At one point, the dog went beneath one of the trains, bringing everything to a halt once more. Only two trains were able to pass in the time it took for the cops to arrive. And there was already a lot of train traffic in the area...
Very Dangerous
Police were quite serious
However, when the police arrived, most of the passengers who had been waiting impatiently were put at ease. They were clearly taking this seriously. They arrived with four fit-looking cops, fully armed with capture nets and a cage to lock the puppy in.
Police were quite serious.
