I thought that Thailand’s Railway Food Market was the only one of its kind in the world. Turns out I was wrong. A similar railway track exists in Vietnam as well – this one doesn’t pass through a busy market place like its Thai counterpart, but a narrow residential neighborhood. The video footage of the train shows it passing mere inches from the front doors of people living in the capital city of Hanoi.

The train comes so close to houses that people have to bring in their vehicles at the scheduled time. Some residents are so used to the train that they just leave their bikes parked outside, inches away from the speeding train. The people here know the schedule well!

Even though residents were familiar with the train’s timings, it isn’t the safest arrangement. I can only imagine how many close calls and unfortunate accidents there have been over the years, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by the people living here.

Mind-blowing.
