        Yeah I was just picturing the Disney like scene of all kinds of cute animals and birds eating corn, then as the you keep looking you see the express train roll through.

          We mostly see trains when they’re around traffic, since that’s where we are. When they’re around traffic they’re slow, to reduce the likelihood of smashing up cars to provide entertainment for the internet.

          But when they’re out in the middle of nowhere they haul ass. Relatively speaking. Obviously in the US our trains are nowhere near as fast as modern trains from developed nations.

          Nah freight lines can get up to 79 mph in some areas assuming they have PTC installed.

          Obviously that’s in the US, where there is a lot of flat empty space.

          But chances are Bambi and thumper will have lots of forewarning

            On the other hand, deer are really stupid. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that some of them still got run over by a train going only 10 mph while blasting the horn.

              There’s a country town north of me where those idiots often bolt straight into the sides of cars.

        LOL, my first thought. There’ll be deer guts everywhere.
