MANHATTAN (WABC) -- Two Amtrak officers jumped into action when a New Jersey Transit conductor had a heart attack at New York Penn Station.

The officers used their training to perform CPR on 56-year-old New Jersey transit conductor Dante Borino.

On Wednesday, the conductor had the chance to shake the hands of the heroes who saved his life.

"I remember sitting here on the chair. Next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital," NJ Transit Conductor Dante Borino said.

A NJ Transit coworker called for help.

"30 seconds later, I hear a thud and I look back and Dante's on the ground," Roger Housman said.

NJT and Amtrak coworkers took Dante from a heart attack to a near miracle.

"When I got there, he looked dead. White, blue lips," said Amtrak police officer Ron Ramsey.
