Stuart M. Campbell saved Michael Dalton from being killed by a train, New York, New York, April 25, 1942. Dalton, 64, clerk, fell from a subway platform onto a track on which a train was approaching at a speed of 25 m.p.h., and he lay unconscious on one of the rails. From the platform on the opposite side of the track from a charged third rail Campbell, 27, clerk, jumped to a point between the rails, tried to lift Dalton, and then saw the train approaching. Seeing no person on the platform moving to help him and thinking he could not lift Dalton to the platform and get onto it himself, he rolled Dalton midway between the rails into a trough that was but two feet wide and five inches deep. Campbell then also lay in the trough; and the head of the train passed over them, coming to a stop 50 feet beyond them. Neither Campbell nor Dalton was injured. 39486-3278
