Railway engineer finds remnance of suicide during inspection
[ranking: 10]
I'm a railway engineer in the UK, and the holidays are the worst time for suicides. I'd been track inspecting the clean up of a suicide the night before, and they've missed a few bits. So what appears to be a bit of skull or knee cap can be seen lying about. The worst bit was the smell.
Man kills woman, tries to make it look like suicide by train

I'm a conductor. One time, a coworker of mine found a teenage murder victim whose pimp tried to cover up her murder by dumping her body on a remote controlled locomotive track.
Woman jumps infront of train, recovered body looks like a different person
[ranking: 1]
I am a freight conductor. We hit a young lady walking between the two main tracks at like five in the morning. That sucks- and dead bodies are creepy on their own, but the craziest part was that I thought we hit two different people. The woman that I saw was white, heavy set, and in her late 40s she was walking toward the train leaning out in front of us. When myself and the brakeman walked back to find the woman, what we found did not match what I had seen.
She did not go under the train, so she was mostly in one piece. We found a Latina woman who was very thin. I later found out she was in her early 20s. Now I thought I was crazy, but the brakeman started asking me if we had hit two people, and described the woman in her 40s the same as I had seen her. Needless to say we only hit one person.
He and I were convinced that this young girl was possessed by some evil entity. The face I saw before we hit her still pops into my mind occasionally it was evil, twisted and full of pain.
Train comes in for repairs covered in red mush
[ranking: 20]
I was working at a BNSF railway in Stockton, CA maintaining the cranes that pull cars off the tracks when a freight engine rolled in with the front end a little caved in, covered in red.
The entire front end was covered in what appeared to be red bloody chunks a paste leftover from rolling through maybe a herd of cattle, or a hoard of zombies... I didn't know what to think. I felt my stomach churn, and my coworker turned green and heaved a bit.
I asked the foreman what happened, he told me some teenager jumped out in front of it. Later, I grew a pair and walked up to it as these folks were cleaning it without any signs of being affected by the sight. Turns out the train hit a stalled fiberglass trailer filled with tomatoes that was headed to the Hunts cannery in Oakdale.
Japanese government charges the families of people who commit suicide on the tracks

There is a routine here in Tokyo to deal with people on the rails. The government even charges a fee to the family of suicidal people, given that they interrupted the traffic.
Big horn sheep headbutts train and walks away unscathed
[ranking: 17]
20-year engineer here. Once I was going 40 mph, and saw what I believe was a bighorn sheep. As we got closer to him he ran right at us, and rammed the engine right in the plow. He then trotted away acting pissed off and shaking his head.
I've hit more large animals than I can count at 70 mph, but nothing ever came anywhere close to the impact I felt when we were rammed.
