Someone jumped in front of a train at one of the busiest stations in Chicago. Managed to be at a stop about 45 seconds further down the line. Take care of yourselves   out there.

The stops are 45 seconds apart?  Or am I reading that wrong?

In this specific case yes, but generally no.

The stop I was at exists mostly for the hospital its next to and its one stop south of a much larger station.

yeah as you get closer to downtown chicago the stops get closer and closer together. if i had to guess id say he was on the metra electric line going to the millenn ium park station. the last 3 or 4 stops on that line are about a minute apart not counting unloading/loading time

That’s sad news.  The holidays can be a rough time - more so for some than others.  Take care of yourselves and of those around you, Opponauts.

Worst thing about a job as a commuter train driver:

Suicides. I read recently of at least one driver in the UK who is now in double figures.

Wo rst job on th e railway: dealing with the a ftermath of a suicide.
