I figured that was probably the case (I knew the history of cowcatchers already, just didn't know about modern times). I guess I just expected there would be instances where a deer tried to jump across the tracks or out of the way... and ended up high enough on the engine, like stretched over the coupler, or on the front deck, or mangled in the railings, and in rural areas you'd see a loco with a deer carcass hanging from it.... sorry that was probably more of a visual than most people wanted. Just one of those things you never hear about (probably never think about) but I'm sure it happens, and I was wondering what the crew does when it happens.
