Said the following about Duane Caldwell:

“Duane Caldwell was at the station when he noticed a young male walking onto the running lines at the north end of the station. He then approached the male talking to him and getting them to safety in the train crew mess room. Then with another driver, Steve Broddel, they talked to the young male making him a drink and engaging in conversation until the emergency services arrived.

A couple of days after the incident the young male returned to the mess room to thank the drivers involved for intervening and stopping him from taking his own life. Unfortunately both drivers involved where not there when he returned.“
