Post dated from April 5th...
Since my move I have been commuting to work everyday via the light rail from Riverside to Trenton and then taking a train from Trenton to NWK. Total time travel varies between 1hr and half to 2 hours depending upon the transfer time and if I get an express over the local. I normally get up at 5:30 AM and am out the door by 6:30.
Well today took me 4 hours because some jerk-off decided to commit suicide! I seriously hate suicidal people that f*ck up everyone else's daily commute, as well as severely scorn the conductor that has to haul your ass over because life got tough and you wanted to end it on the rail lines. I mean really, to end it all is such a p*ssy way out to begin with but to prevent so many other innocent people's daily trek to work is absurd. Don't piss off angry commutes that are dealing with their lives jus becuase you can't function with yours. So as a warning to all of you...if you should ever feel the need to commit suicide, don't do it on the rail line. I attached the article below that was posted on www.nj.com

Pedestrian killed by train in Hamilton
A pedestrian on the tracks was hit by a train and killed in an apparent suicide near the Hamilton train station during rush hour this morning, officials said.
The incident took place about 6:30 a.m. when Train 3916 hit the person under the Whitehead Road overpass near the Hamilton Station on its run from Trenton to New York City, said NJ Transit spokesman Dan Stessel.
The name of the person killed on the tracks was not immediately available and police are investigating. Initial reports indicated the victim apparently committed suicide.
The incident meant delays and overcrowded trains on NJ Transit's busiest rail line.
About 50,000 NJ Transit passengers ride the Northeast Corridor on a typical weekday, Stessel said.
Service was suspended for about an hour while police investigated.
By 7:30 a.m., officials reopened three of the four tracks in that area and trains started running from Trenton.
There was limited service from Hamilton and Princeton Junction, with cars overcrowded and running 30 to 60 minutes behind schedule, Stessel said.
