Bigfoot sighting in Eads, Colorado

1880 ยท Eads, Colorado - Wyoming RR Line, United States

Secondhand account: in the 1880s a railroad engineer's train struck a large ape-like creature at night on a line near the US-Canada border; crew later found hair, tracks and a strong smell.

The account itself raises a hoax or a misidentification.
