A young deer apparently leapt from the I-15 overpass in the Sixth Ward area to find itself atop a boxcar last week.

Wonder why this was needed in the article, but hey, still interesting:
"The wardens transported the carcass to the wildlife center, where it was fed to the few bears that hadn’t yet gone into hibernation."

Hmm...is this a new policy regarding trespassing railfans?
