The story is loosely based on the 2005 Glendale train crash , where Juan Manuel Alvarez parked his vehicle on Metrolink tracks in a suicide attempt but abandoned it before the train struck, causing 11 deaths. It was also remade for Law & Order:

Mid-trial, Buckley fires his attorney, Rodney Fallon (played by Giancarlo Esposito), and chooses to represent himself, changing his plea to not guilty and claiming the incident was an accident rather than a suicide attempt or intentional act of murder.
