Train Market

The Train Market is essentially a market where the vendors put their wares out for sale under temporary awnings up to the railroad track. When one of the regularly scheduled trains come by, the vendors pull their wares away from the tracks and pull back their temporary awnings as well.  Naturally all of the shoppers squeeze into whatever free space is available.  After all, being pulverized by a passing train is not on any one's shopping list.


As you can see, the vendors are practically on top of the tracks.
Toss in the tourist throngs, it becomes a very congested scene.

The train whistle has been heard and the vendors prepare to 
move their wares and temporary awnings away from the 
tracks so that the train can pass by.


The awnings are quickly pulled back away from the train tracks.

Everyone is ready and waiting for the approaching train.

You can see Kacy's arms holding her camera on the 
left side of the video.  Frankly, I did not realize I was 
that close to the oncoming train.
