That is certainly the truth! I used to live next door to a train engineer.
This was one tough hombre -- Harleys and old VWs and all the rest of those
stereotypes. He got so tore up when people committed suicide deliberately in
front of his train. It was what they wanted to do, there was nothing he
could do about it, but it was very hard for him to accept that internally.
