“We are delighted, and grateful to both customers and staff who assisted, that the mother safely gave birth to her baby daughter onboard,” an Iarnród Éireann spokesperson told The Independent at the time.
Before that, in 1993, Vida Boateng was 21 years old when she gave birth to a baby girl on a 3 train at the Wall Street subway station.
Back in 2012, 24-year-old Wanda Dueno went into labor on a J train near Chambers Street and gave birth to a baby boy.
Train staff were first alerted to the mother’s predicament when Emma Tote, the onboard catering assistant, heard a woman screaming in the bathroom and went to help.
The baby was delivered by two nurses and a doctor who happened to be onboard after train staff put out a call for medical professionals.
