HAMILTON, N.J. -- N.J. Transit's modern train station in Hamilton, just north of Trenton, is a favorite with commuters, with lots of parking and easy access to I-295.

The station is also a favorite among death-seekers.

Five people in two years have been killed by trains there, all apparent suicides.

Amtrak trains, which don't stop at Hamilton, speed by the station at up to 135 m.p.h. on their way to and from New York City.
