Train St.

 

Living close to the train station is always a bonus for city slickers,  but this might be just a little too close for comfort.   Somewhere in the heart of Hanoi,Vietnam's old town district, you will find a massive train squeezing through a very narrow residential street.  The train chugs it's along the street's of a densely populated area,  passing private homes, open markets and children at play.
The streets are typically lively, bustling with people. The local enjoy living their daily lives until suddenly everyone and everything scurries, clears and stops.  All must make way for the local passenger train to barrel it's way down their street.  Children riding their bikes, vendors selling their goodies and elderly tending to their gardens are suddenly replaced by a rush of massive clattering steal.  The residents know the schedule and use caution, but I wonder the actual safety of the situation. Luckily, it only passes two times per day.
