It's interesting how the story and pictures of this deer gets around in the internet.
The very same deer made the local (Winnipeg MB Canada) 6pm news with the reporter on the scene just before the Railway took it off.
It was hit on the CN mainline just west of Winnipeg.
First call came into Manitoba Hydro of a deer on the lines just west of the Headingly Station.
A hydro trouble crew attended and found it was on the railway signal line and notified the Railway police to have them get a railway workcrew out to take it down.
The CBC reporter said the railway figured the deer may have been hit thinking that the line was clear to cross but instead there were some empty flatcars on the line followed by loaded ones with containers. The train crews that night did not report hitting anything with the lead engine.
