From FOX 8:

The crew aboard Train 737, which was heading northbound at the time, spotted the toddler on a track for an electrified third rail. The engineer brought the train to a stop and an assistant conductor quickly jumped out, grabbed the child and brought him aboard.

Meanwhile, investigators had been looking for the child, who had gone missing.

The child was taken back to Tarrytown Station, where railroad workers and police officers reunited the boy with his mother.
