Have you ever been onboard a train that's hit someone?

Yeah, multiple times on Caltrain. Also one time in college the Coast Starlight hit a kid on the tracks directly behind the house I lived in.

Yeah, I was the conductor. It was a little shocking, but I got 3 days off paid and got over it.

Why even bother stopping? They're already dead. Seeing as it's New York, the rats will take care of the body in no time. They're just holding up people's day.

Because its scarring to see some mutilated body in between the rails. It would also get super smelly, and decomposition creates fluids that could short out the 3rd rail

I was on the Amtrak Southwest Chief heading east, 15 minutes out of Albuquerque when we hit a guy on the tracks. They took away the engine crew and conductors for drug tests. (As if it was their fault!) We were there for 5 hours before the train started moving again.

>engine crew and conductors for drug tests.
They do that for the lawsuit. It's not suspecting the workers at all, it's more to protect themselves against someone suing them for damages.

Yes, 2 pedestrians & 3 cars while riding on the C-Train in Calgary, Alberta each on separate occasions in the mid-1980s.

One pedestrian was a fatality, we were kept on the train for 90 mins for that one. And 1 of the 3 vehicle collisions was a nasty one in which I was slightly injured. (Kissed a glass partition when violently thrown forward after t-boning a truck that ran a red light). We were doing track speed of about 25 km/h (irc..) & no chance to apply the brakes. I was a standing passenger in that one.

I fucking hate that city's transit system.

Was on a intercity train that hit someone on my way in to work. Had no idea and we sat around for 3 hours before slowly going to the next station on the track (should have been nonstop) where we all got off and it moved on.

Got free coffee out of it.

There's a BBC documentary about railways in Bombay, I think you can find in on jewtube. At one point, a train driver is asked about what happens when they hit someone
>they stop the train
>move the body off the track
>get going again
>at next station they tell the stationmaster
>everyone goes by their business
pretty brutal. The guy they interview takes it philosophically. Says something to the effect of
>after a few weeks it starts happening
>one person saved, one person lost
>what can we do?
>and if nothing else -- then god is there.
makes me see my local subway drivers as massive pussies for going all WAAAAH I'M SO TRAUMATIZED BC I KILLED A GUY I HAVE TO STOP WORKING BUT STILL GET MY SALARY
I mean, surely it's not nice to be in that situation, but if you can't deal with it DON'T BECOME A FUCKING TRAIN DRIVER, you know it'll happen eventually ffs.

I don't know how often exactly, because they tend to not always tell you what happened if you're stuck in the train here in Germany, but I'd guess a few times.
I hate those cunts. If you absolutely must KYS, why not do something that won't ruin a few folks days and fuck up the schedule of a few hundred more?
A Friend of mine works that job were he has to make sure the trains start running again and collecting body parts on the tracks apprently is no fun.

Several times a year in Paris' metro. It's one of the reasons they are installing glass panels with automated doors in front of the tracks.

I've done it several times, player.

What?

>>1184864
I wasn't drug tested for my fatality. Shit, I wasn't even drug tested when I had a side-swipe. You're specifically NOT required to be tested for crossing accidents by law, however.

Those doors should be standard on every metro. Aside from preventing delays dues to people on the tracks, they also increase the capacity that stations can safely handle.

The pay is fucking nice I hear
So even if I cant stand that kind of stuff, I'll still continue to work that well knowing I run the risk of crushing someone's soft skull against pure fucking steel like a grape

Also, why was that retard even on the tracks? Theres fucking signs everywhere especially in NYC subways that if you drop some shit to let an employee know, they dont do shit but scratch their asses most of the time
