Live by the Train, Die by the Train

After 17 years at the helm of Chicago's Metra, Executive Director Phil 'All Aboard' Pagano put the employee's pamphlet on dealing with a suicide on the track in his breast pocket and leapt in front of a speeding Metra train.

It seems the investigation was almost over. I think we know the verdict.

As it turns out, Metra STILL doesn't give out employee bonuses. Well, except for the $56k bonus the boss got last year.

Imagine. Ending a perfectly fine and fairly wealthy life over $56,000.

I like picturing a scene from Hollywood, noble yet sad.
A train speeds down the tracks surrounded by Illinois farm fields - a proud yet apparently sad man straightens his suit in the mirror making sure everything is just so.
The train speeds along with more and more buildings whizzing by, the man takes long sad walk to the train station.
A close up of the eyes, the train speeds toward the station...
