I think I'd rather get hit by a train. It's faster!!

I was on a CTA train - sitting in the first car. Train was pulling into the Loyola station. Hit a man on the tracks.

It has been probably 20 years but I still remember the sound and -- the smell.

RIP to him and the poor guy in the dumpster...

My ex was with Amtrak Police for about 20 years before he retired, and in that span of time, of course investigated many incidents of people/cars/train encounters. Pictures always had to be taken, and when we split up, there were a lot of things he left behind that he didn't deem necessary to take with him. In later years, when I was going thru a box of pictures that he asked me to find for him, I came across some of his accident scene pics. Very horrifying, to say the least. That is not something I would wish on my worst enemy!
