Officer Ramon Morales was responding to calls about a woman sitting on the tracks on Sunday morning and he arrived just in time to save her. The footage shows the railroad crossing warning coming down as Morales’ car arrives. Moments after Morales drags the woman away, a train speeds by. Morales was also able to prevent the woman from running back onto the tracks. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2918096/woman-railroad-tracks/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2918096/woman-railroad-tracks/"},"headline":"WATCH: Officer Pulls Woman From Railroad Tracks","datePublished":"2014-06-24T18:48:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:36:00.861Z","description":"He got to her just as she was about to be hit by a train.","url":"https://time.com/2918096/woman-railroad-tracks/","keywords":["rescue","Crime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb59ca7633a7987c3/6986991f810bbb6a64c9254a/screen-shot-2014-06-24-at-9-18.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Video","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-video/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb59ca7633a7987c3/6986991f810bbb6a64c9254a/screen-shot-2014-06-24-at-9-18.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen-Shot-2014-06-24-at-9.18","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/rescue/","name":"rescue"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2918096/woman-railroad-tracks/","name":"WATCH: Officer Pulls Woman From Railroad Tracks"}}]}] ```
