I'm starting to see a trend here...

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.

It's not the internet. I just don't want to swear around the squirrels.

You do you. I would not put a piece of random deer meat in my mouth, no matter how fresh.

I certainly didn't say that. Cook all your meat and cook it to the proper temperature, unless you are extremely confident about its origin and quality.

There's a huge difference between A5 grade beef and cow roadkill.
