BOSTON – The Orange Line driver who stopped her train within inches of a woman on the tracks over the weekend will be honored today by the MBTA’s Board of Directors.
It was a frightening scene for MBTA riders Friday night after a passenger waiting on the Orange Line platform at North Station fell onto the tracks.
Dozens of people desperately tried to alert the driver of an oncoming train.
“The train stopped. The front end of the train was actually over her,” said Sgt. Paul Carroll of the Transit Police.
