Train operator William Kennedy sent out an emergency radio communication to nearby train crews when he noticed a young child was on the track April 6 near Tarrytown, New York, according to a Metropolitan Transportation Authority news release.
That’s when engineers aboard northbound Train 737 stopped the train.
The crew continued the route at a slow speed until they got a better look around a curve. Once they realized it was the child, Assistant Conductor Marcus Higgins quickly jumped off the train to rescue the 3-year-old boy, whose mother said he has autism. The child was near a fence on top of an electrified rail.

So, is she going to jail? Cus like how?!
You obviously don’t have a toddler
Oh no he was so scared 😞 toddlers can wander off in an instant. No one knows how close they live to the tracks. She should have been watching but give her some grace.
Toddlers move fast! My daughter quickly disappeared years ago and found her standing under our horse, rubbing his belly.
Fake crying how responsible she going to jail right and the baby taking away from her
Who are you to judge?
Train Worker is a hero well deserved recommendation
