Vietnam: Hanoi (17)

Waiting patiently...

 

Train Street is a popular tourist attraction in Hanoi, with a train track running through a narrow residential street in the Old Quarter.

Buildings are incredibly close to the tracks, and locals live their daily lives alongside the trains that pass through on a regular schedule.

The railway was built during the French colonial era in 1902 and still connects Hanoi to other parts of Vietnam.

Many cafes along the street offer a great (and very close) view of the train. By the way, the train does NOT slow down as it proceeds through the street - as some tourists have discovered the hard way!
