I remember a few years ago some cows where allowed onto a track out west and caused a derailment. Now as far as I know the cows didn't have tickets and the farmer was found to be mostly liable but because he didnt have any money irish Rail had to pay to rectify the damage and foot the compensation bill.
Now I dont know how they manage it in the UK but one way around it here could be to force any travelling dog to have sufficent liability insurance to cover any potential damage, I cant see how that would work in practice though.
