Hotline1 Thanks for the welcome.
I think that somebody got this from Manitoba and changed it to Balitimore to make it sound local.
If you look at Mapquest or Mapblast for Winnipeg using the intersection given in the first posting (Wilkes at the perimiter), it is where the CN mainline runs west out of Winnipeg.
I too thought that somebody had too much time on their hands and made up the picture, until I saw it on the local news at dinner time. I can't share it with you as the link to that clip has expired off the stations web page.
Everybody in the local media including the railway spokesperson assumed it was hit up there.
Hotline1 could be right in saying that the deer came from some place else and somebody decided to throw it up in the railway signal lines to cause some excitement. I don't know how much time the railway police or RCMP would spend checking to see where it came from.
No news of where the deer ended up, I wonder if somebody has a freezer full of deer roasts?
