Baby survives train toilet plunge - Telegraph UK
The UK’s Telegraph reports that a newborn Baby has survived a delivery in a train lavatory followed by a fall through the bottom of the carriage and on to the tracks below.
The train toilet plunge occurred in India on the West Bengal Tata-Chapra Express.
Pregnant Rinky Debi Ray, 28, began to feel a sharp ache in her abdomen, she headed for the toilet hoping to relieve the discomfort. Instead she suddenly gave birth. The baby fell into the lavatory bowl and out on to the tracks.
Shocked passengers watched the mother jump from the carriage in an attempt to rescue her new baby, which she discovered lying unharmed on the track.
The Daily Telegraph reported Mrs Ray as explaining she had been travelling to her parents home in Bihar, where she was planning to deliver her second child, with her husband Bhola and their four-year-old daughter.
Mrs Ray’s husband saw his wife jump off the carriage and pulled the emergency cord. The train came to a halt just over a mile further down the line. “We got off the train and started looking for my wife,” he said. “After an hour we found Rinku sitting beside the track with the baby in her lap.”
His wife and new baby were transferred to Purelia district hospital where both are now recovering from their train birth ordeal.

The photo of the train is neither typical of an Indian train nor the train in which the incident happened. It just shows the low quality of western journalism.
