ST. PAUL, Minn. — Two railroad workers for Union Pacific are being hailed as heroes after they saved the life of a little five-year-old girl from St. Paul over the weekend. Angie Knutson is always aware of her surroundings while working her shift as a locomotive engineer for Union Pacific Railroad. She is a member of BLET Division 369 in Minneapolis, Minn. Around midnight Saturday as the train was passing through east St. Paul near Phalen Boulevard, she knew something wasn’t right. She noticed something that didn’t look right and said to her conductor, “Is that a little kid?” They both said: “It’s a little girl!” She stopped the train and the conductor, Jared Campbell, jumped off to find the child and approached her. Knutson called first responders. Police say the girl had been missing for some time that night. She was eventually reunited with her mother.
