Regarding the train suicide: What a sad way to die. It is too bad no one was able to help him. He was struck by a northbound train going 75 mph and pronounced dead at the scene.

The article did not mention that by placing himself in his car on the tracks that he could have caused the 98 passengers on board bodily harm and even death.

Thank God that it did not happen. It is something to think about.
