Train stopped to ‘save’ kid’s toy

London, (IANS) Railway workers in the US stopped a train to save a three-year-old girl’s beloved bunny, it was reported here.

A tantrum-inducing disaster was avoided thanks to kind-hearted transit workers who halted an oncoming train about to run over the girl’s beloved bunny.

On Wednesday, Casey Carey Brown and her daughter, Riley, were getting off a train at the Green Street stop in Boston’s Jamaica Plain district when the stuffed animal, named Nummy, fell out the stroller and onto the tracks, Daily Mail reported Saturday.

The packed train saw the seriousness of the situation straight away, Carey Brown wrote on her blog, Life with Roozle. Indeed angelic-looking Riley immediately broke down, according to the blog post.

Unable to calm her daughter down with promises of a new bunny Carey Brown ran to find help. Luckily, workers for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority sympathised with the pair’s plight.

One worker quickly called the station dispatcher alerting him of the situation, then the operator of the oncoming train was called. Despite it being rush hour the train ground to a halt as it entered the station allowing the platform conductor to rescue the stuffed toy.
