Ctb by train- selfish?

If you have other options than please consider that train drivers are traumatized for life after a suicide. Not just because they witnessed a suicide, but because of the constant fear it will happen again - which is a real risk. When they experience a second suicide they are usually no longer able to work ever again.

Not sure how many of you have ever been on a rural French rail station when a TGV hurtles past. I think they do near 200 mph and it's nuts to be close to something going that fast as it goes by you.

These trains rarely stop (only in major cities), and France has loads of rail stations in little villages, so it's easy to reach a place where there is a good chance of there being absolutely noone at the station except for you. Additionally, if anyone does happen to be there (a part time station master or whatever), you can legit hang around and say you're waiting for a train (which you are, in a morbid way).

My real questions are:

What happens when a train going nearly 200mph makes contact with a human? Does the body just pretty much not just explode on contact? Surely the chances of an instant and painless death must be high?

Does the driver even register that you are there before the train makes impact? It's not like he has a chance in hell to stop or even try to stop if you get onto the tracks when you see the train approaching.
