A San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy had a split second to act to save a child from an oncoming train. 'I knew there was something going on and something need to be done fast,' Deputy Michael Castaneda said. Cell phone video shows Castanada on a rural road in Redlands picking up the child as the train comes dangerously close to them. 'As soon as she put that child down, I heard the horn and to me, that was the start of a race,' he said.
The driver was stuck but instead of running away from the moving train, Castenada said he saw her going back into the car. 'At the moment, it dawned on me pretty quick that there's probably a kid back there or another passenger in the vehicle and that train was getting really close,' he said. The mother put a child down on the ground and climbed back in the car for a second child.'Time slowed down but it was just seconds,' Castenada said.
