I agree that this is not very front page relevant, but its still a lot of animals dying-- since the local bear population is <2000, 1.5 fatalities per year are quite significant!
Compare to just ~700 human railway fatalities in the US (population: >300M)-- if railways were similarly lethal for us, the would be over 200000 deaths per year.
