Statistically, about 2/3rd of Caltrain fatalities are suicides. It only takes a mix of a bad situation at work (hints of age discrimination, early warning signs of impending demotion or even being made redundant) and a bad situation at home (for instance, a marriage that is heading downhill) for a plan to take hold in a person’s mind. Most people don’t carry out this plan. Some do.
