It's typically not the engineer's fault, though. Those things don't stop on a dime.
Suicide by train is moderately popular amongst the extremely serious, although I do know one paraplegic and one double (arm) amputee who were unsuccessful.
A friend of mine drives trains for (a major rail company in the area). He had his first suicide about 3 or 4 years ago ... he'd been on the job for about 7 years that point. A lot of this old-timer coworkers were wondering when his streak would end. It fucked him up for a while, but he worked through it. (I did a little bit o' work with him on it. His employer "offered" some counselling, but it's one of those things that if you go for it, you reduce your chances of significant promotion ...)
