Any longtime New Yorker who regularly rides the subway has likely seen quite a lot of odd things along the tracks — but seeing something that quacks may be a new one.
A rider on an N train near the Eighth Avenue station in Brooklyn snapped a picture of a duck walking along the tracks, which was first spotted by a train operator just before noon Wednesday.
Thankfully a worker helped rescue the bird under a construction area, but it’s not known why or how the fowl ended up next to the tracks in Sunset Park. No train delays were caused by the incident.
The animal appeared to have a clean bill of health, and was turned over to a Good Samaritan who volunteered to care for it.
Coincidentally, the duck was found in the same area where a pair of goats had to be rescued from the tracks in August 2018.
