Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially 2 adorable deers in Deshler, Ohio, Loram, railgrinder, in Elkhart, Indiana, 4 electric transformers in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and so much more, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a wonderful week.
@tytn99785 ай бұрын
I liked seeing the deer, but it has me wondering how many get killed on the tracks each year? I know that there tend to be a few fatalities on highways, especially on the TransCanada Highway route, so assume that a few deer get hit by trains each year?

Evidently it was owned by “Wever Fertilizer” (according to the pinned comment) so it’s probably for the production of chemical fertilizers or pesticides for agricultural use
