It was quite a Christmas delivery.

Two transit officers in Philadelphia helped a woman deliver a baby Thursday while on board a train, reports ABC News station WPVI.

The delivery happened on the Market-Frankford subway train.

Sgt. Daniel Caban was the first to respond. He didn't have much time to spare.

Officer Darrell James joined Caban, with the two helping the woman deliver her baby, a healthy boy.

A SEPTA officer was later seen holding the baby. Officials said the mother and child were taken to a local hospital in good condition.

Did he charge an extra dollar for a fare bought on the train?

Fortunately, it was a “wanted baby”, otherwise...well, nevermind.

Chief of SEPTA tweeted: “For those that have asked, I have waived today’s fare for our newest rider. Congratulations!!!”

I wonder how they helped.
