Act Of Kindness Inspires At South Orange Train Station

SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — Just when you start thinking that all common courtesy has disappeared from the world, a simple act of kindness in a New Jersey suburb can restore a big hunk of that lost faith.

The South Orange Village Center shared a story about a “random act of kindness” that took place on Wednesday morning at the South Orange Train Station.

According to the center’s Facebook post:

“The 10:06 [train] was sitting in South Orange Station… A woman down on South Orange Avenue yelled up to the conductor on the platform, "There's someone down here running to catch the train! Wait for her!"… He waited… She made the train… This is a good place.”

“We all should try to emulate this,” one Facebook commenter wrote. “One act of kindness after another will make all of lives better.”
