Description
The Maeklong Railway Market has been around since 1905. It is found in the province of Samut Songkhram, located on the Gulf of Thailand. Fishing was (and still is) one of the main livelihoods of the people who lived here, and the market was another way in which to sell their goods. Officials decided to build a railway in order to better deliver these goods to provinces around Thailand, including the capital. The market remained, however, despite the new tracks that cut through it. The market must pack up each time a train comes!

And the vendors know exactly how close their goods should be! Great shot.

I can imagine many people get killed by the train, but desperate to earn a living they take dangerous chances. a young girl was killed in the states a few days ago while talking on her phone, she stepped in front of an Amtrak Train

It must be a scary drive for the train driver - not knowing what he / she will encounter.
