    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.
