Going Home Trauma
When working the night shift - it was accepted practice to jump on the first train out of the depot in the morning to catch a ride home.
So about 4:30 in the morning there's about 4 of us in the cab, chatting away when all of a sudden, the driver slams on the brakes and points to the end of the station we're approaching...

...yep... one body at the end of the platform ramp, minus a head.

Turns out some poor woman had decided to end it all, but not wanting to cause any fuss, waited until the last train of the evening ran through the station, hid at the end of the platform and at the last minute, stuck her head over the nearest rail. No-one saw her do it, so she lay there for four hours undiscovered until we came around the bend.

Didn't really fancy breakfast when I got home.

Train drivers / engineers
I have a few friends that run the trains on the way to work and that's one of those occupational hazards you never seem to get used to or be ready for.

Kind of selfish taking yourself out at the unwitting hands of another.
