I don’t really hear about trains much when searching for suitable methods. I have certainly come across suicides relating to an individual jumping on the subway tracks, but this is not really what I’m talking about. It seems messy and uncertain, particularly due to the fact that if your jump in front of a train pulling into the station it is comming to a stop, not to mention the fact that subway trains [in my city at least] don’t seem to go that fast to begin with [not compared to actual trains anyways].
So if one was looking to be taken out by a train what would be the best method? I was thinking to wait out by the tracks at night [so as not to be seen by the conductor when I make my move, or at least limit his ability to see me] until I see a high speed passenger train coming, then simply lay my head on the the track. I don’t know if it would be better to jump in front though. I mean, when it comes to your head vs. a high speed train I would think the train would win but still, I don’t want half my skull torn off and left a vegetable. It seems quick, and painless [relative to a gunshot anyways].
Any opinions, or reports? Is this a suitable method?

Hey,
I don’t know if it’s the right thing I’m about to do by telling you that, but I know ( not personally ) a lot of people who killed themselves by jumping in front of a train. One time it didn’t work and the other time the train driver got a shock. It’s not beautiful for you nor the train driver.
Don’t do it. By that I mean the whole suicide thing. I probably don’t know why you want to do that, though I know the feeling.
There are million options; you can kill yourself with everything actually.
But if you want to talk, just tell me. I’ll listen.
Hey i read on the net about these two school girls that commited suicide by standing in front of a train there was a third girl but she backed out at the last minute and watched them get hit i cried when i read that story seems like a horrible way to go everytime i hear about someone commiting suicide and succeeding im actually kinda jealous guess thats kinda sick but i also feel really sad cause i know how they were feeling the pain and dispare and wanting nothing more than to get outta here and for it all to just stop there was someone on here actually leaving comments to people and i remember her saying that she tried to commit suicide by train but failed and she lost both her legs thats awfull i wouldn’t be brave enough to stand in front of a train i’d probably go with hanging im just terrified of screwing it up and being left worse of wish there was an easier way outta here i have soo many things running through my mind its a bloody nightmare!
Hey crying, I remember reading that same story before. Three girls from america? To be honest I felt jealous aswell, not that they died and I wanna take there place infront of a train but just the bottle, strength, guts, balls they had to stand infront of that train and end their lives. I wish I was that strong.
I have had that thought many times. We live right by a railway line – seriously, I have to climb over my back fence and go down the bank and I’m on the line. I have sat in the garden so many times and listened to the trains going pass, and wondering if I would be able to do it. I would have to tie myself to the track or something first. The only thing that puts me off that method is that the person driving the train would probably see you and then feel bad that he couldn’t stop the train in time.
sod that.Train or Hanging wouldn’t be my favourite choices
i personally think it is too messy. If no one can talk you out of it then at least opt for a cleaner way of exiting. At least something that is not going to traumatize people and affect them negatively for the rest of their lives…you see what i mean? Maybe pill overdose or something…not the train or jumping from the top of a building.
Have you tried to talk to someone? I am all ears if you need to talk. I will neither encourage you nor discourage you. I will simply listen. (at any time of the day or night)
If you think this is something that can help you, give me your hotmail/yahoo email and we will talk/chat live whenever you feel like it.
I really have the same thought.. I live a few minutes next to a train track. I often went watching the train passing by, while imagining my head on the rail. I don’t know if it’s the best way to kill yourself?? I’m really sick and tired of everything. And not having someone talk to.
I’m planning to do it..but I wonder if I have the courage to do it…
