Thai markets trade on top of train line

Updated

The food market in Maeklong, Thailand, is located on top of train tracks. Several times a day shopkeepers swiftly pack up their food stalls and pull back their canopies to let the trains pass. Once the trains have rumbled through, the crates of vegetables, fish and eggs are placed back into position and shoppers return to the tracks they use as a path through the market.
