The is the dramatic rescue happened on April 6.
Locomotive Engineer William Kennedy was operating a southbound Hudson Line train north of Tarrytown when he noticed an object and soon realized a young child was on the track, making his way near an electrified third rail.
The assistant conductor, Marcus Higgins jumped down to the track, ran 40 yards in front of the train, picked up the child and brought him to safety.
The mother and the 3-year-old were later reunited.
