Dramatic CCTV footage has shown the moment a rail worker pulled a passenger from the tracks one second before a train was about to hit him. Colleagues have since described the rail worker as a hero, but he said he was just doing his job. Speaking to reporters, Mr O’Connor said the CCTV footage appeared much slower than it actually felt. When I spoke to him later, I told him, ‘Hey, pay it forward’,” Mr O’Connor was quoted by CBS SF as saying. “I was watching John work as I was waiting for the train before this happened,” he said.
