Method Train-Rail method?

[LavaLampLightning]

Hi! This will be my first post on here. It won't be my most important, but I'd like to start somewhere.

CTB by electrified third rail has been discussed here before, especially among Western Europeans. That's not something that exists where I live, however, I do live in a rural area with a major heavy rail line nearby.

Has anyone considered decapitation via rail (specifically the neck placed over one rail)? It's an eccentric idea, but as far as I can tell it's been done many times before and is not rare in a few countries.

Pros:

• Quick and pretty low effort
• High rate of success, if done correctly

Cons:

• Invariably gruesome
• Almost guaranteed trauma to the conductor(s) and any bystanders
• Risk of criminal trespassing
• Rail company pay impose a financial burden on next-of-kin for disruption of operations, depending on the country

I do not condone nor suggest this idea, but I'd love to hear some other perspectives on this.

I would personally never consider it as I don't want anyone else involved in my ctb, especially unwillingly. But it seems like a rather quick death if done right. However there's a high risk of ending up an amputee if you fail
Also welcome to ss!

I would never do a violent gruesome method like that. There was a woman who was a long time drug addict who did that near where I live, sat on the tracks and just waited for a train. I couldn't understand why an addict couldn't simply OD.

i have thought about it but i really dont want to impose harm or trauma to anyone. i also like the idea of me having my body intact when i die, i like the chance of getting the option for my family to see me for the last time resting peacefully if they want to. i plan on doing SN in a hotel room but i will leave a note for the janitor to call 911 and to not come into the bedroom so they get away with as little trauma as possible.

To be frank the train method is much quicker, plus might have been difficult for her to od since the tolerance was probably high

They can do a hot-shot, an extra strong dose mixed with something else, they know how to do that. They OD all the time, hence the need for narcan.

There are cases where what seemed like a sure fire way to ctb by train decapitation have backfired badly, resulting in life changing loss of limbs or head injuries. Either by SI kicking in at the last seconds, or a part of the locomotive bodywork or mechanism knocking your body around prior to the wheels striking you.
In a recent incident here in the UK a Police Sgt lost, I believe, both legs and an arm attempting to remove a man attempting suicide from a railway track. The man suffered no physical injury, but has experienced PTSD and mental health problems.
It's not a guarenteed ctb and you must be aware that you may cause untold mental injury to the train crew and emergency services who will have to wander down the track picking up the bits of you from where they have come to rest. It's not going to be a neat case of a body and a separated head.

Idk if this has been said already but I know alot of countries have cattle gaurds on certain trains. There is proabably a high chance the train still kills you but it may not be as quick as you hope and could potentially be brutal depending on where your sitting on the rale.

I personally didn't think of that. Intriguing story.

Thats an interesting idea. I personally wouldn't go through with that but hey, trains are everywhere so its always an option.
