A shaken Codrington added: “It puts a whole new perspective on everything. There have been times when I’ve been drunk coming back home. It could’ve been me.”

Foley, an automotive technician, said he woke up feeling some ‘Good Karma’ after his heroic deed.

He said: “I’m currently unemployed, so I feel pretty useless right now. But now I feel like a new person, and good things are happening everywhere.”

O’Hanlon’s sister Agnes witnessed the rescue. She confessed: “I thought the train might run over all of them.

“I was very frightened. I know how fast the train comes,” she added. “But I’m just very proud of my brother. A little shakey, but very proud.”
