Brave rail worker dies saving train at West Haven
Tony Donatto of the railroad section gang gave his life yesterday at a West Haven station to remove a dangerous tie from the track ahead of the New York to Boston express. He yelled a warning and pulled the tie away before the speeding train struck him, dying instantly from the impact. The act averted a likely multi passenger catastrophe and was witnessed by fellow workers. Donatto had served eighteen years with the railroad and was well liked by colleagues. A silver watch he wore remained intact on his body.
