Passengers on the West Bengal Tata-Chapra Express raised the alarm when they saw Rinku Debi Ray, 28, jump from the speeding carriage in what they believed was a suicide attempt.
The train came to a halt more than a mile down the track, but when passengers ran back to help her, they discovered the new mother cradling her new baby in her arms.
Mrs Ray later explained 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, when she felt sharp pains in her abdomen.
She went into the lavatory hoping to relieve the pain, but instead suddenly gave birth. The baby fell into the lavatory bowl and through the flap onto the tracks under the speeding train, and her mother quickly ran out of the lavatory and jumped from the carriage to find the child.
Her husband, who pulled the emergency cord, and other passengers who saw her jump, said she injured herself in her leap, but managed to get up and start running back to where the child tumbled onto the track.
When the train came to a halt just over a mile down the line, Mr Roy and other passengers began searching for them. "We got off the train and started looking for my wife. After an hour we found Rinku sitting beside the track with the baby in her lap," said Bhola Roy, a 33 year old businessman from Rourkela, West Bengal.
His wife and new baby were transferred to Purelia district hospital where both are now recovering from their ordeal, while the railway station manager said the baby's survival was a "miracle".

Indian baby survives birth
through train toilet

The child's mother, an Indian woman called Bhuri, was travelling on an
overnight train near Ahmadabad, in the state of Gujarat in west India when she
suddenly and unexpectedly gave birth.
The as-yet-unnamed child was found two hours later, cold but apparently
unhurt.
According to her brother-in-law Arjun Kumar, she went to the toilet shortly
before midnight and unexpectedly gave birth, eight to ten weeks short of term.
Toilets on Indian trains are usually simple holes through to the tracks,
and the baby - who weighs barely 3lb - was small enough to slip straight
through.
"She fell unconscious and the baby fell through the toilet," said Mr Kumar. "Two stations later, we knocked at the door.
"When we asked her about what happened, she said the baby had fallen through onto the tracks," he went on.
After finding Bhuri, relatives pulled the emergency alarm in the train and informed officials.
"She fell unconscious and the baby fell through the toilet," said Mr Kumar. "Two stations later, we knocked at the door.
"When we asked her about what happened, she said the baby had fallen through onto the tracks," he went on.
After finding Bhuri, relatives pulled the emergency alarm in the train and informed officials.
In the ensuing search, a guard at one of the stations they had passed found
the child on the tracks.
"She was on the rail track for almost two hours," said Dr. Gautam
Jain, a paediatrician at Rajasthan Hospital, Ahmadabad, where mother and baby
were taken.
"We do not expect such children
to survive."
The child's mother expressed her shock at events. "My delivery was so
sudden," she said.
"I did not even realise that my child had slipped from the hole in the
toilet."
