If so, then you might wish to move to Thailand. Here the market is very near to the trains.
As seen in this video from the Lionel Tracks website. Enjoy.

I have seen photos of this market, but not the video. Fascinating testimony in how one adapts. Thanks for posting, Nicole.
That's quite different. Thanks for it.
That's incredible. There must be a huge number of injuries/fatalities every year from this.
Look both ways before crossing the street...uh..shopping for sea bass, or stepping
out on the front porch....
Now that's living in perfect harmony. Thanks for posting the vid Nicole.
My favorite is the rice with brake dust seasoning. I mean you COULD cover the food left within inches of the track. But maybe they like it that way.

Probably not. The two-car DMU's are the only traffic here, and their appearance is predictable (note that the vendors clear their wares well in advance of the train), not to mention the area is a low-speed zone, probably 10MPH or less.
It's most likely just like light-rail/tram cars passing through a pedestrian mall, only more crowded.

It's a little too confining for me. Wow - people could die . . .
NQDY, the DMU in the video is made in Japan by Nippon Sharyo and powered with Cummins NTA855R1. I wonder how much "street running"is left on US railroads?

Yes.....they could. But so could I when I drive my car. Does that mean I quit driving?
And all that without OSHA. Amazing the resilience of the human being. Self preservation is above most else. Perhaps if they thought they could count on someone like OSHA to protect them, then yes, they might not be as vigilant...and one might die.
But....no one did. Please investigate and come back and tell us about the death/injury rate over the period of time that this has been in existence. I am most curious.
