If getting into a niche is not possible, then my my suggestion is to have the person lay flat in the track trough, if one exists, and, even though they will get dirty, they'll probably not get hit by the train. If I were standing on the platform, I'd run for the emergency power cut-off box and stand there activating it until help arrived, telephoning the control center if possible. Someone else could notify the station agent or other personnel. There are other things I could do, depending on the location of the fallen person and when the next train might arrive, but it's best not to mention them here. |
