Are trains starting to jump off the tracks and chase these people? If so, we’ve definitely got a problem. If not, it has to be suicide by train. It is so sad and heartbreaking that these people see this as their only way out. Hopefully God will have mercy on their souls.

Or under the influence and accidental.
