Looks like that would be over 780 people hit by trains per year at that rate. I’m guessing that’s a couple orders of magnitude higher, haha. These bears have a problem on their hands.

780 people hit per year in Montana's population yeah? At national population (1.5/2100/*3.5e6) the Montana train-bear fatality rate would correspond to a rate of 214k people hit per year.

Ha, yeah. I should have specified I was basing that off of Montana human and grizzly populations.

Turns out humans get hit by trains much more often than you would think

On the order of 1000 train fatalities per year in the United States

the Montana grizzly bear rate is >200x the American person rate!
