Mother saves baby after fall on tracks

A buggy carrying a 14-month-old girl rolled off a slanted train station platform and fell onto the tracks, but the girl’s mother leaped onto the tracks to rescue her with the help of other passengers, transit officials said.

“What it looks like to us is that the mother became distracted by something, didn’t apply the brake on the stroller and the stroller was able to move off the platform and onto the tracks,” said Scott Sauer, director of system safety for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.
