Decapitation afaik is pretty much instant and painless. Building a guillotine seems pretty hard tho, so what if you put your neck on traintracks and have it decapitate you? You could stand by the rails pretending to be taking pictures of the train so as to not alert the driver, and then when it's close enough drop on your knees and put your neck on the rail. That way the driver doesn't have time to break. I would've done it already, but the trains driving on the traintracks near my house are like regional one's that don't drive as fast as cargo trains. I'm not sure how fast they have to go for it to kill you instantly and cleanly, although I have been told it's more about the weight than speed.

Does anyone know abt the required speed the train would have to go? Should I try going to tracks further away where I know cargo trains go through?

Also what about survival instinct, sudden regret, etc.? I have never tried to CTB so I'm not sure how hard it actually is in praxis mentally


EDIT: this doesnt seem to work, i looked up pics of the train and theres stuff in front of the wheels, youd get hit in the head not decapitated, which means its rlly not guaranteed to be fatal. also SI would make you pull out last second which means you could get head or limbs caught. horrifying permanent damages

CTB by train is unreliable for a multitude of reasons, some that you have already posted. Then there's the horrible possibly that if the attempt fails you could be left with lost limbs and other terrible permanent damage. I suggest finding a different method.

But if it's only the neck on the tracks how would you lose any limbs? Which alternative methods do u suggest

Well if you decide to chicken out at the last second and get up to get out of the way, you could catch your hands/arms against the train. Or even worse, catch your head against the side of the train which you could end up surviving and not only leave you with a mangled face, but also terrible brain damage.

If resources are limited for you, there's jumping, drowning and hanging. The former two ideally need a good location or the ability to travel, and the 3rd one sadly can be very difficult to perform and I have almost no knowledge on hanging methods.

it will definitely kill you and quickly. the biggest problems you would have are SI and someone intervening.

edit: nevermind, I think I am wrong. https://www.quora.com/Would-getting-hit-by-a-train-be-instant-death-or-would-it-hurt -- this might be a good thread to read up on. apparently, a fair number of people have actually survived being hit by a train. death is uncertain, so I think looking into other methods would be for the best considering the possible (and horrific) outcomes if you fail.

I've been thinking about ctb by train (more like ctt haha) a lot before visiting this forum and it's tricky.
In my thinking the ideal spot would be the end of a tunnel, when there is light outside. The drive will be blinded by the sunlight when coming out klof the tunnel and it's a good spot to hide from the driver as well until one actually goes onto the tracks.
On a flat plain, there would be plenty of time for the driver to notice and try and slow down(or stop).

Also another problen is other people. If someone sees oneself next to the track, and thinks one is foinfnto ctb they are likely to call the cops/ambulance, emergency number.

Lastly I read on 4chan if you wanna be nice to the people dealing with the aftermath, you shouldnt do it close to a junction/crossing because then someone has to investigate if the crossing worked properly to make sure it wasn't a technical malfunction that may be responsible for the death.

It's definitely not completely painless. It takes a number of seconds to pass out during which you experience the horrors of decapitation. Plus you don't know what features the train will have on its front, it might not be conducive to decapitation.

The ideal way to die by train is to be hit by a 90mph train on the head by a hard part of the train, but it's guesswork and risky, not to mention you can't really easily know how fast a train is going. I abandoned this method. Too many unknowns

I'd suggest SN. It's reliable and relatively easy to get. All other methods I've found problems with. Although you could give partial hanging a go. When it works, it's nice, easy and painless, it just doesn't work all that often. Charcoal CO poisoning might work out for you, but it could be a bit tricky or unpleasant. It might be difficult to also get the required levels of CO. Argon/nitrogen gas didn't work for me. Jumping takes a lot of courage. There's the 4 drug protocol on PPeH but needs a hell of a lot of drugs. Finally, heroin or Fentanyl. Heroin might be more reliable since there's more certainty about what you're getting but you'll need to be comfortable with preparing the dose and injecting yourself.

I see. What are some other methods? I don't want to feel regret halfway through so I'd like to avoid drowning, jumping or hanging.

I'd say the most reliable would be SN(Sodium Nitrite), SA(Sodium Azide), The exit bag, Heart stopping medication with benzos, (black powder) gun to the head and CO(Carbon Monoxide)

Check out the peaceful pill handbook (PPH) here, they are all roughly explained in there. For more Information check out all the stickied threads in this (and I think another) Forum.

All of those could possibly lead to some short amount of time of feeling regret apart from guns.
According to the PPH using an exit bag knocks you unconscious within 10-15 seconds that would be a good way, SN as it's easy to get and it takes roughly 10 minutes until you start becoming unconscious.
Benzos and heart stoppers are good as well, especially the benzos will make you instantly calm once they kick in.

whats SN? is there a thread abt it here

There is this Megathread and Stans guide about SN.

I'd definetly take your time learning about your options, I'd recommend reading the PPH for a good idea of what would be a good method for you.
In a few days with a couple more posts you will get access to search the site as well.

Take care on whatever you're going to do <3

wouldn't this be incredibly inconvenient for both the passengers and the train operator? this would probably stall train traffic for a day or so. and then someone has to clean up the bloody mess your body leaves behind. not that you would care; you'd be dead, after all. still, there are better methods out there.

The problem with the train method is you can traumatise the driver. Some of them become so traumatised they end up ctb themselves. I don't think it's fair to involve innocent people in your attempt.

Not if they weren't suicidal beforehand.
how so? whether or not they understand it, suicide is best for any human being, no matter their situation. in a sense, traumatizing them would be a morally honorable thing to do (not that it matters, as the person suiciding would already be dead lol)

Because others don't deserve to be traumatised for the action that you want to take.

I would not choose to use any method related to trains for numerous reasons. Firstly, you could survive and be horrifically injured. Secondly, you could be mangled by the train and die a painful death. Thirdly, if successful, you would leave a terrible and traumatising mess for someone to clean up. Lastly, what if someone tried to help you and was injured or killed themselves?

There are many better ways to go.

i looked up pics of the train and theres stuff in front of the wheels
Every locomotive or railcar worldwide has a massive rail or stone scraper in front of the wheels. This protrudes to within a few millimeters of the rail. Nothing bigger than a pebble goes under the wheels themselves, sorry.

It's a terrible method. Unreliable, gruesome, leaves lots of other people to pick up the tab. Of course all suicides require someone else to deal with the aftermath, but the aftermath of death by train is a whole different category. I would not recommend it at all, I would say to be patient and find a better idea.

Ive looked for different train connection things in my area and some other regional trains have def like enough space for a human neck to fit through, im guessing since they dont go as fast they dont need as big of a stone scraper or smth like that??? Im pretty sure the speed is still enough to most definetly kill me, so the only issue would be SI making me chicken out last minute and leading to mangled, gruesome, horrifyingly painful permanent damages lolol

You'd have to make sure the train's going at least 40mph, and that's only an 80% chance of dying. Admittedly I got that statistic from all those 30-40mph car warning adverts, I dunno how true it is or how much it would be relatable to trains.

Trains tend to go quicker outside of cities and urban areas. If you travel out far enough I think most should have picked up enough speed by then. It also just depends what kind of train, cargo, local speed limits, etc. You'd probably need to study the routes of the local locomotives to get the best success rate. I think about this method a lot.

Well trains are far heavier than cars, so the force they push down on the wheels with is a lot more. And wait the car warning adverts were they talking abt the wheel of the car going over someones neck? Car wheels distribute the force on a larger area than train wheels too cuz theyre relatively wider i believe. And the train im looking at definetly goes more than 40mph

I already live in a rural area and use these trains every day to get to work and stuff, ik all the arrival times from memory. I think the speed is probably fast enough. The big problem is just SI, im hearing that its basically impossible to overcome??

The car adverts don't really go into detail on how the car kills the person run over, those adverts are just meant to discourage people from driving 40mph in 30mph roads, since in the UK, 30mph is the most common speed limit used for urban areas (20mph near schools and other vulnerable areas).

Dont really care that much, they should be mad at the government for making it so hard to comfortably commit suicide, not me whos just tryna have sillyfun :3
