"At approximately 11:32 a.m. on February 12, 2025, the conductor on a southbound W train that was stopped at 34 Street-Herald Square was notified by numerous passengers that a woman had given birth inside car #5528. The conductor held the train in the station and responded to that car, joined by a NYC Transit Train Service Supervisor and multiple NYPD officers. They were rapidly joined by EMS which transported the baby girl and mother to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue in good condition.
“This is another example of New Yorkers coming together to help each other, assisted by caring transit workers and other responders, reflecting the best of the subway community and this city. We are thrilled that both mother and Baby W are doing well, and look forward to welcoming both of them back aboard for a lifetime of reliable—and hopefully less dramatic—rides.”
