Wow ! I used to do safety inspections on fighter jets and fire safety inspections for a fire department. This is absolutely amazing !!! I would love to see this in person, but they'd better never invite OSHA for a visit. Those folks would have a stroke !
Nice, colorful and active shot....

You know, I used to think that Maeklong Market in Thailand was unique, you open my eyes. There is more!
Do a search on youtube to see the trains at Maeklong
This is a wonderful community

Should be quite exhilarating once funding for the new bullet train goes through, lol. Wild shot! Glad you were able to out run the train into the clear!

Very cozy. What is the speed of this train under these "cozy" conditions?
|
That's just crazy. Makes me want to take a trip.

Hanoi is an amazing city, but of all the amazing things to see I can't believe I missed this when I was there. Guess I better go back for another visit!

Yes, I like living where there are trains. No, I don't want to live that close to the tracks.

Thanks all - the speed of the trains is about 10 to 20 mph. It doesn't sound too fast but when you're stood inches away from the train it feels much too fast! There's also a warning bell linked to the level crossings at either end to alert you to an approaching train.

There is a great video on youtube of this train!!.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dTGFlzPbiQ

Đổi Moi is "renewal". It means the reforms in economic policy. It looks like, there is still much to renew. Really a great photo.
