According to ActionNewsSF, "Caltrain service stopped in both directions due to a fatal accident where a train struck a trespasser at San Antonio Station in Mt View." After calling Caltrain to find out more, they could only confirm that, yes, there was a fatal accident at the San Antonio Station. Eeech. Sounds gruesome. Anyway, you should expect delays this afternoon if you plan on riding the train. Please adjust your schedule accordingly. Update: The victim was an apparent suicide. According to SFGate, "The woman, whose name has not been released, sat down on the tracks less than a half-mile north of the San Antonio station about 11:30 a.m. and was hit by a southbound train."

I had a conversation on Caltrain once with someone who had been riding in a train that killed someone a few years before. She said the whole train ended up smelling like burning hair. Gruesome, indeed.
And a selfish way to take yourself out, since it's hard on train drivers, emergency personnel, bystanders, everyone. I was in downtown Mt View years ago right after a suicide, and grim-faced cops were walking down the track picking up bits of something and placing them in sandwich-sized baggies. A hell of way to start your day.
