Two quick-thinking T lifesavers were hailed as heroes yesterday for bringing a barreling Orange Line train to a screeching stop inches from a drunken woman who’d fallen in its path at North Station Friday night.

Orange Line motorwoman Charice Lewis, 27, of Mattapan and Orange Line inspector Jacqueline Osorio, 29, of Dorchester were lauded by transportation secretary Jeffrey B. Mullan for their “swift, decisive action” in helping the 26-year-old Cambridge woman escape certain death around 10:24 p.m. Friday.

“I don’t consider myself a hero, I just did what I was supposed to do,” said Lewis, a three-year T employee and mother. “We don’t have control over what some of our passengers do or what happens before they get into the T but there’s a lot of T employees that do what we’re supposed to do.”

“It’s a miracle,” Osorio said. “Me being a mother, I would love to hear my child coming home safely every day.”

Both women also received calls of praise from Gov. Deval Patrick.

The drunken woman, who was partially covered by the train car before it came to a complete stop, has still not been identified, said T spokesman Joseph Pesaturo.

The woman told cops she had been drinking for several hours at a bar near the station.

“After the fact she comes up with, like, a big smile on her face, and I’m like, ‘Oh, my god’ . . .” Lewis recalled yesterday. “I was really, really scared because I thought I hurt her and that’s another life.”

Lewis told reporters the woman has not yet come forward to offer thanks for saving her life. Lewis said she plans to take time off from work to be with her family and calm her nerves.

“I’m pretty sure she is saying thank you. She just hasn’t been given the chance to,” Lewis said of the woman. “I’m sure her family is very grateful.”
