Great story, and very dangerous! No fuel in those cars to explode, but a crashed passenger train is also basically a downed power line. All kinds of high power energized stuff there...

Wonderful story - restores my faith in people.

My son was a Boy Scout, never made it to Eagle Scout, but I have no doubt he would do the same thing.

Reminds me of many commie countries that either outlaw Scouting, or take it over to espouse their insanity. I can just imagine a leftist Creepozoid asking if this Eagle Scout had a permit to assist.

"...Eagle Scout..."


Count me as impressed. Dangerous business of continued sliding, fire, or electrical shock. Brave kid.

I am the proud father of one, and I’m certain he would have rushed to help too.

We must give credit to his girlfriend also. Sounds like she was just as involved.

Yeah This was a story of Scout Bravery — Belongs in Boys Life.

I heard this story on the radio, but they neglected to mention the influence of Scouting.

Not just pretty amazing. He probably would have done what he did even without having been a scout. The training helped a lot though.

Some people just come along that are exceptional.
