The pram carrying an 18-month-old girl rolled away from the child's family as they paid for their train tickets at Wentworthville station just after 10am on Sunday.
The baby's 62-year-old grandfather immediately jumped on the tracks and passed the pram up to his wife and daughter.
The grandfather had to walk along the tracks to the end of the platform to climb back out.
As he hauled himself onto the platform a freight train came barrelling down the tracks, narrowly missing the man.
The child suffered swelling to her forehead and abrasions to her knees but was released from hospital on Sunday afternoon.
No charges are expected to be laid.
