Looks like it was 1N13 and caped 86L at Colchester according to RTT.
Anyone know what stock is used on this service? picture shows a class 90 but RTT says the service doesn’t have a guard from Colchester.
I don’t know this area so no idea of the sort of speeds that might be involved, but lucky it didn’t derail the train.

A train near Colchester has collided with a cow on the tracks, causing disruption on the Greater Anglia network.
The train franchise reported that the 6.47am Clacton-on-Sea to London Liverpool Street train struck a cow between Colchester and Wivenhoe.
The collision caused delays heading towards Colchester for the duration of the morning and affected services travelling from Thorpe-le-Soken and Walton-on-the-Naze.
A Greater Anglia spokesman said: "A train struck a cow, near Wivenhoe towards Colchester. The cow was stuck under the front of the train, and needed to be removed before the train can move."
The track was cleared about 8.30am, with disruption expected to clear on the network by 10am.
Network Rail engineers are being deployed to the incident.
