In the second photo, if those are 33' sections of rail, the deer between the rails has 100' or more in front of the loco to get to safety. Camera lens effect.

Yes, indeed, Gary, I was shooting with my big lens, and that capture was probably at or about the 450mm setting. Of course, my post was intended 'tongue in cheek', and no one was really in harms way (although I never trust hooves on ballast, and was truly hoping no one tripped & fell to an untimely demise).

It's fairly obvious that these deer were not RR employees; in rules classes, you are instructed to never run on the railroad....
