I'm new to the discussion, but I couldn't pass up adding some insight to the deer in the power pole saga.
First of all it is in Canada, not Baltimore. It is indeed a comm system, not high Voltage and the photo is legit.
All else is speculation. I cannot believe a train hitting anything would throw it up into the air (reality vs. cartoon). My personal opinion is it was killed (probably by a vehicle), then was placed there for a prank.
For the facts go to:
