In a world often filled with troubling news, moments that highlight human kindness can truly uplift our spirits. Recently, a remarkable display of camaraderie unfolded in Portland, Oregon, when a motorist found their vehicle stuck on snowy train tracks. Just as a train was approaching, a group of bystanders sprang into action to help.
The incident, captured in a video shared on the KMTR News Facebook page, showed a red Mustang struggling to navigate Portland’s MAX train tracks. As the car became lodged right in the middle of the tracks, four individuals rushed in from different directions, working together to push the vehicle to safety just moments before the train arrived.
A witness, named Jamie Collins, a student from a local university, described the scene. “We noticed a red Mustang swerving down the street. It reached a traffic light and tried to cross the MAX tracks, but it got stuck,” Collins recounted. “Then, about four or five people quickly gathered to rock the car off the tracks in about 10 to 15 seconds before the train came by.” Collins noted it was the second vehicle stuck that morning, making the situation all the more intense. “It felt dangerous, but it was heartening to see everyone jump into action to help.”
In times like these, when negative headlines often dominate, it’s refreshing to see the good in people. Despite the challenges of the past year, incidents like this serve as important reminders of the goodness that still exists in our communities. While local authorities reassured that trains typically slow down at intersections and had enough distance to stop, the urgency of the moment was palpable.
As winter weather continues to affect travel, it’s a good time to consider preparation—after all, that Mustang could have used some snow tires.
