28 people on that train. What’re the odds 1 of them is effected by this later in life mentally in some way? Including the drivers that have to deal with this.
Isn’t this the same crossing that 2 siblings committed suicide last year? Imagine if it were the same conductor smh

Its very close, the 2 from last year was barely a mile down the track if even that. Yeah someone will have a breakdown. Engineers are tough cookies, because they have too.

I was on a train where this happened once... you would hope none of the passengers would actually witness what happened (I didn't), but it's still tremendously sad and it sticks with you for a long time. Sadly pretty common for train engineers to have this happen, I hope they get all the resources they need after events like this.

I can’t imagine the horror of knowing you can’t stop in time and seeing it happen right in front of you.

I was supposed to take the train home from Boston but I didn’t because of whatever and they had the first person to commit suicide that day so I’m glad I wasn’t there but it just happens too much. So sorry for anyone affected

Have the same feeling with animals in the road - cant imagine another human.

Seems impossible to witness it as a passenger. The only front row seats are for the engineer.

People in town witnessed this in real time. I don’t know how you process something so horrible

Where did you hear this? She was a friend of mine as well. I didn’t know there were eye witnesses aside from the engineer…
