Yep, but then what takes 1h? They must have had that multiple times already. Either get them off the tracks in whatever state they are in, or get them out of the train. I don't find it to be a good reason to punish the collective amount of all train passengers in any train in the vicinity by making everyone an hour late. It seems very unprofessional.
The train has probably already hit them and they need to be cleaned off it because you don't want to give your train employees PTSD or you run out of employees.
Medical assistance can be received outside of the train, or once medical professionals are on board, while the train moves to the next station at the very least, if it isn't there already.
First, i agree with you. Inconveniencing everyone is unacceptable when something ought to be taken care of as quickly as possible. That said…
if someone jumped in front of the train they probably need to get police, medical, and train teams out there. The police need to do a quick investigation and gather any evidence around tracks (could be foul play), the medical team needs to probably clean things up. You also probably need to have Inspectors for the train to check and make sure that the train and tracks are safe to continue.
Overall, having to get all three parties to the site and then assess and perform their duties, an hour seems pretty reasonable
