the messes made by both trains are quite disimliar (having been on each after they've hit a person).

On the subway train, it stops, there's screaming, paramedics arrive, emergency crews clean it up, police take witnesses aside for statemtns and you're back on your way 45 minutes later.

Go train hits someone, there's blood splatter up to 4 cars down the line... emergency crews have to drive up to the train, wreckage cleared, people taken off the train, statements taken, etc etc...

It's probably because the GO Trains
a ) make a bigger mess
b ) are able to make a bigger mess because they are going faster, in larger trains, on often public property.
