Never seen this before, after 14 years of trainsimming. On the PRR East V2 route ... a deer ON the tracks, glances up at the oncoming train ... and stays there - does not move - as the engine runs over it and it disappears. Never saw that happen in MSTS. More realistic Open Rails? A feature or a bug? I was taken aback. Once saw a YouTube video - real life video, not simulation - where a stubborn bull on the tracks refused to budge as the engineer in the cab blasted the horns and lamented the huge dumb beast for not saving itself.
A Serbian film comes to mind, a dark comedy about an old engineer who takes on a young apprentice. The engineer holds the infamous record for 28 deaths caused by train collisions with cars, trucks. He explains to the youngster that a grim, secret tradition on the Serbian railroad is that you're not a real engineer until you've killed someone with the train, an unavoidable and inevitable risk of the profession. The apprentice becomes paranoid and confused, eager to join the esteemed train drivers, but dreading the guilt of causing a tragedy. It is, indeed, an Eastern European dark comedy, so if you have mental\emotional issues about train accidents, better skip the movie. That said, it's very much tongue-in-cheek, and it made me laugh out loud more than once. That's how good dark comedies work.
