    Yes, but make sure to make eye contact with the driver first. Because, in the end, don’t we all want to be remembered?

      Apparently that is one of the worst parts of being a train driver. Seeing what’s about to happen, but knowing you can’t stop in time. Looking into someone’s eyes, just before they are reduced to a meat crayon.

          I’ve heard that is basically guaranteed you will kill someone eventually if you are a lifelong train driver.

        On a large enough time scale and on the tail end of peak oil this is basically guaranteed.

    I mean, if it didn’t just kill me but erased me from existence so I wouldn’t cause a massive amount of trauma to the people around me, then yes absolutely!

    If it just killed me then nopeeee

    doing so would disrupt the trolley service causing the company to lose profits, so here’s the reverse ask: why wouldn’t you do this?

      You don’t want DB to have any more delays though so only do it if it’s a cargo train.

    That depends, will doing so inconvenience other people? And is there someone to look after my cat?

    That depends: are we in a country that lacks any kind of decent access to medical care, so that by not jumping we are causing a worse death than by jumping?

      Yes because I would die
