Tracks so close to buildings that Trains brush past shops
Now that's what you call door-to-door service: Railway line runs through streets so narrow the train squeezes past shop fronts and traders
Route in centre of Hanoi, Vietnam, cuts through streets in old town district, on way to Long Bien Bridge
The track is so close to buildings that locomotives brush past pedestrians and children playing in street
Residents have to move out of the way and even dismantle shop displays when the train is approaching
Ashit Desai, of Bangalore, photographed the people who live next to the railway while he was on holiday
Quote:
This railway line is so close to shops and homes that huge trains are forced to squeeze past market traders, pedestrians and playing children.
The route in the centre of Hanoi, Vietnam, cuts through tight streets in the city's old town district, heading to Long Bien Bridge.
The track is so close to buildings that locomotives, which negotiate the line twice a day, brush past people nearby.
Residents have to move out of the way and even dismantle shop displays when the train is approaching.

Before coming into this thread I was imagining something like an apartment block being built close to tracks, not actual houses with front doors opening up literally onto actual train tracks
