Yes Jim, the fox's hearing has gone along with his spirit to the Great 
Covert in the Sky.

There's a train every 15 minutes on those tracks - more really as they run 
every 15 mins in both directions. There are hundreds of urban foxes around 
here, but I've never seen one killed on the railway line before, and as 
there's a speed limit of only 45 kph on the track at that point, it's a 
surprise. Foxes are both sharp and quick. I sometimes fear for our new cat.

Douglas
