Yes I remember sitting in VKI one night (My dad used to be a shift Sgt and acting duty inspector up there) and 2 people jumped in front of trains in the space of about 2 hours...

Not Nice at all..

It still amazes me how someone could end up with their car infront of a train.

Ive been to a incident where a female parked her car on the tracks on Roe St but that was a suicide attempt and we talked her out of the car and moved it.

The only other I have heard of is when a truck went around the boom gates and its trailer, loaded with a bobcat, got taken out by a train.
