Afroza Bibi with her pregnant daughter Rehani Bibi, a resident of Jhumka village in Murshidabad, West Bengal, India, were travelling on the Lalgola passenger train.
The incident took place near Nadia district's Palashi railway station at around 6.30pm on Tuesday, railway officials said. Upon hearing the cries of her daughter, Afroza rushed to the toilet and asked for help from passengers, who then stopped the train and rescued the newborn.
Both the mother and child were immediately rushed to Mira Primary Health Centre at the railway station. "The baby and mother are fit and safe now. But it is very miraculous that there was no injury marks on the newborn baby's body," a doctor attending to them said.

What shocked me is that poo goes directly on the tracks. Eww!
Same in the UK, Brixter, and I imagine everywhere else. That's why they have the "don't flush while the train is in the station" signs in toilets.
Another very good reason not to trespass on railway property; you might get a nasty surprise as a train goes by...
Wow, I learned something new & weird today! I would've imagined modern trains would store the waste but then again they would need to be emptied regularly.
Forget the "poo", how about the baby? They don't just pop out while going to the bathroom...very sad I think, but glad that the baby is OK.
