Motorists in Azerbaijan are seen desperately breaking as they are suddenly cut off from continuing as the huge locomotive pulling the carriages crosses over the seven lanes, plus a slip road.

The remarkable images were shot by Javid Sadradinzadeshows in the city of Baku in eastern Azerbaijan. He filmed the moment the moving train crosses the road and noted that given its size and the number of carriages the train had no chance at all of stopping had a car ended up in front of it.

The bizarre footage clearly shows that the railway is almost impossible to see and is not apparently marked in any way with signs, never mind flashing warning lights or a barrier.

In addition to that there are no traffic policemen to inform drivers about the approaching vehicle.

Since the train is moving at a very low speed some drivers try to speed up and pass the rails prior the arrival of the train, while others stop to wait until the train has passed.

There is no information as to whether this rail road is used as a substitute one, only in emergency situations, or if residents of Baku are simply used to that kind of chaotic traffic.

Netizen ‘Lescza’ said: "What if I came to Baku by car and did not know that secret railroads exist?! I could easily die. This is just outrageous."

And ‘paqi’ added: "My a*se, and all these drivers are ok with that???? Unbelievable…"
