| #5 Bobby- Over the years I've been on several commuter trains in Chicago that have hit people, either suicides or idiots trying to cross in front. 5 to 10 a year are killed around here. |

| #4 We've had our share of this crap here, too. What the hell is it with people - do they think the train can swerve to miss them? :-( This sort of thing never happened in the railroad town I grew up in. Wonder why? (NOT) |

| #3 Trains. Why do they hate drunks? I was in a commuter train in Chicago a few years ago which was struck in the side by a car that had turned left against a red light. 2 pm Sunday afternoon. The train had just left the station, so was only making maybe 15 mph, but she (I think it was a she!)had to run the red light and crash through the gate with the flashing red lights. Could been a seizure, I guess. |

| #2 Suicide by Norfolk Southern. Too bad the conductor has this on his conscience now, because the deceased was obviously begging to check out. |
