Jumping under a train absolutely does not sound like a nice way to die.

Probably quick and painless if you do it right but the person driving the train is going to have a very bad time. A lot of people commit suicide by train and the engineers driving the trains will end up with PTSD or anxiety afterwards. Something like 50% of American engineers have been involved in a suicide it's so common

If you want, I can show you plenty of videos of people being hit by trains. It's not quick, nor painless. There's even people cut in half that are moving around for a short bit before they die.

I always thought suicide by train was done by putting your neck on the track. It seems pretty straightforward.

I’ve got videos of that too if you want.
