Very Cool.

On a side note, here in Calgary there is a gap under each LRT platform. So if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, just roll yourself towards the platform. (Just in case anybody didn't know.)

Good story. Always nice to hear stories where people selflessly help others.

Kudos to this guy for helping out and setting a good example for his kids.

Mr. Autrey refused medical help, because, he said, nothing was wrong. He did visit Mr. Hollopeter in the hospital before heading to his night shift.

Very cool. Great story.

That is an amazing story. Well done. I wonder if he knew for sure that he had enough room not to be hit by the train, or if he just took a chance.

When I was a kid a buddy of mine would go under there as trains came just to scare the bejeezuz out of me.

Mr. Autrey must be related to Stephane Yelle.
