I personally can’t wait to see what a white tailed deer looks like after it’s been hit by a train pulling 300 mph.

If it’s truly a MagLev, the tracks will be far higher than a deer could jump. No “crossings at grade” whatsoever.

Wouldn’t such a train be off the ground by a certain height? I’m not sure but that’s what I’d do if I were engineering it.

I've seen deer jump an 8' chain link fence,
but they'll never leap high enough to reach Maglev's elevated guideway.
Normal height is 17'~22' to clear ground obstructions, but it could be built lower/higher as necessary depending on what it has to pass over.
