Baby born on New York train Commuters in New York had a rather eventful journey on January 16, when an expectant mother gave birth on their train. The young couple were travelling from New Jersey to Manhattan to visit their doctor using the "Path" transit system, when the woman began to complain of pains. I was like, what's going on? I mean something's happening every two minutes. And then I felt the baby come out. I could feel something coming out. I wasn't sure if it was the baby. I asked him to double check and it was the baby," said the mother, who asked to remain anonymous. Train staff then sped the train non-stop to the hospital, bypassing several stations en route, so that the baby and mother could be seen to by doctors. The parents have not yet named the baby formally, but he has been given the nickname "Jhatpat," which means quick or speedy in Hindi, in honour of his unusual delivery.
