Has anyone else noticed more Dogman sightings happening near old railroad lines?

Never looked into dogman much but this is actually interesting because the railroad correlation keeps coming up and nobody seems to have a decent theory for why.

My gut says its something to do with the land itself rather than the trains. Old rail lines in the UK and probably the US too follow older paths - drovers roads, ley lines, whatever you want to call them. The rail companies didn't just pick routes randomly, they followed the terrain and often the oldest routes through an area.

So maybe the dogman isn't attracted to railroads specifically. Maybe both things are in the same places for the same underlying reason, if that makes sense.

Anyone got actual sighting reports with coordinates or rough locations they can share? Would be good to plot them and see if theres a pattern worth taking seriously rather than just going on anecdote.

@WilliamCipher the railroad corridor theory is one that keeps nagging at me too. Old lines cut straight through terrain that was never developed, following natural contours, valleys, ridgelines. Basically you end up with these long uninterrupted wildlife corridors that nobody pays attention to anymore.

There's also the old Native American angle - a lot of rail routes followed ancient trade paths because the original surveyors were smart enough to use routes that already worked. Some of those paths had significance tied to certain locations long before Europeans showed up.

Whether you think dogman is flesh and blood or something stranger, both explanations benefit from that kind of corridor. Movement without exposure. I've seen the same pattern with a lot of the Scottish big cat sightings up here - they follow old drove roads and disused rail lines almost exactly. Might be something fundamental about how large predators navigate human landscapes.
