I said all of the above and his reply was "it's their choice". I told him if he wanted to kill himself that's fine by me just to not involve me in his suicide. He said I was "crying like a little school girl and that I should just close my eyes". Utter and complete tool bag!
You did your best Jack...Can't do much more than that....he might have just been trying to get your dander up...Shouldn't worry about people like that ;)

There are people with nothing better to do other than being a troll. They get off on being a dick to people. I just don't get it. I had a great grand mother killed when she was hit by a train back in the 60's...Your locomotive weighs more than 4 M1 tanks!!! If I saw 4 tanks coming, I certainly would not drive in front of them.

My brother is a train driver on the east coast line and has had a few near misses on crossing's he also had a suicide at a station as he was pulling up to a stop, he looked under the train and said there was just a few meaty lumps left and nothing that resembled a body.
