I thought I had been noticing a lot of roadkill in the area lately, but nothing compared to the carnage in Montana this winter. Fish and Wildlife officers say hundreds of pronghorn antelope and deer were killed by trains this winter after herds gathered on tracks to escape deep snows. Approximately 800 in fact.
Trains Kill Large Number Of Animals

That is sad that so many animals have been killed, and I am not sure the railroad can do much to stop it if the animals continue to congregate on the tracks.
It IS sad. And it sounds like the railroad is already doing everything it can. It's too bad those 'deer whistle' things you put on cars don't actually work.
