The MTA honored a conductor and an engineer for saving a child who had fallen off a wall and landed alongside the tracks just outside Tarrytown.The child's mother stepped onto the train and hugged her little boy, crying tears of joy. He'd been missing for more than an hour. What she didn't know is that he'd tumbled over a wall and crawled into the path of a Metro North commuter train.
"I got four kids so as soon as I saw it was a child, instantly 'daddy' kicked in and, 'We gotta' save this kid," Kennedy said. "We got to do something right away.'" "Finally, we see the child," Higgins said. "He's in the gauge of the track at this point. So he's in between the running routes. So we stopped the train. I was like, 'I'll jump out,' got the door open, jumped out."
