Suicide by train conductor is pretty similar to suicide by cop. Both guys just wanted to go to work and get home to their kids. But like you said, I don't know anything. I guess I'm ok with that. :p

Blurbs from recent articles about the stress of suicides on train conductors (There are many more if you wanna Google it):

"Fatal train collisions tough on engineers"

"Oct 16, 2011 – Train engineer William Smith screamed like crazy for the young woman to move..."

"Many live with guilt, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger and fear for years..."

"or they realize, 'I'm not the same person I was before the accident."

"Railroad workers suffer trauma of fatal crashes, too"

"June 9, 2012 – Recording of train engineer Donald Tate's call after a fatal accident..."

"Railroad companies to offer a form of grief and stress..."

"She wrote that the stress of the train wreck caused her hair to fall out..."

No, it's not. This man was suffering from depression (a medical condition), not committing a crime.
