Train Conductor Spots Man On The Tracks And Takes Swift Action To Stop Train Just In Time

Thanks to an observant freight train conductor, one homeless man in Georgia was rescued after he had fallen on the train tracks and couldn’t get up.

The Marietta Police Department recently wrote about the incident on Facebook. “Yesterday morning a CSX conductor entering Marietta with a mile-long freight train at full normal speed. He noticed a person down on the tracks and because of his swift action he was able to stop the mile-long train before striking the male!”
