unusual navigation hazard

I'm reminded of a story from the early days of Eurostar. British drivers were taught some rudimentary raliwayese French in case they needed to communicate with local railway staff.

So, a train was speeding along through northern France when the driver spots a dead deer on the opposite track. He radios through to control, but struggles to describe what he has seen. The best he could come up with was "une vache avec un pantograph".

PS Eau deer, surely!
