Woman Gives Birth on Train in Saint-Marcellin With Help From SNCF Staff
A 22-year-old woman delivered a healthy baby boy in a stationary TER train with assistance from a conductor and a passenger, guided by emergency responders.
- The baby, named Alassane, was born on January 12, 2025, in a TER train stopped at the Saint-Marcellin station in Isère, France.
- The mother, assisted by an SNCF conductor and a passenger, successfully delivered the baby with guidance from emergency services over the phone.
- Both the mother and baby were transported to Romans-sur-Isère hospital and are reported to be in good health.
- The birth caused only a minor delay on the train line, with no significant disruptions to the railway network.
- The mayor of Saint-Marcellin, where births are rare due to the closure of the local maternity ward in 1992, plans to celebrate the event by gifting the family a basket of local specialties.
