Someone at the Wail is obviously bored. I have seen videos of trains going through that market before. Are there any other trains that go through such built up areas or something similar? I know that there is the South Shore Line from Chicago into India, which runs at street levels via some residential areas, for example. On the metre gauge Linha da Vouga in Portugal there is a bridge shared between rail and road traffic just outside Sernada da Vouga. There are no traffic lights or railway signals. Until recently there was a standard gauge track down the middle of a busy street in the city of Coimbra. Although mainly used for empty stock workings there was one scheduled passenger working each way between 5am and 6am. I did see it one very wet morning in 2008 from an hotel window. A picture was impossible. This was the line to Serpins, closed in 2009 for conversion to 'Tram - Train' which project was promptly cancelled. |
