In an automobile, and 33 years of driving I have hit 1 deer. In 22 years of train service, probably somewhere 80-100. Last week I hit 3 does at one time. I don’t get it. Dogs are the worst. They get in between the gauge and run away. Then you plow them down.
Before you ask here are the other things I have hit:
Countless hogs, coons, opossum
Probably 15-20 dogs
Several cats
1 horse
4 owls
1 blue Herron.
3 turkey
2 beavers
6 car/truck/suv’s (2 had human fatalities)
1 18 wheeler
2 humans (suicides)
I couldn’t even count how many near misses I have had.
