New Haven Joe posted:Suicide by train happens about once a month in the SF Bay Area. Some people stand between the tracks with their back to the train, others stare the engineer in the eye.
Sadly, most of the victims are teenagers who walk directly in front of a train. No one seems to have an explanation for why this is happening. NH Joe
It is certainly tragic that these people make these mistakes, but the victims are the engineers, especially in the case of the ones who have to watch their eyes. I cannot imagine the nightmares those folks must have, and my prayers go out for them (as well as the families of those who commit suicide). Just the thought of sitting in the cab as the inevitable happens turns me inside out. I can only guess how it tears them up.
