The Doorway Railway Of Hanoi

This railway line passes through the residential neighborhood and commercial area of Hanoi, Vietnam. Twice a day, the trains pass through the downtown, merely inches away from the doorsteps of buildings.

The people in Hanoi know the schedule of the trains well. At just about 4 pm and 7 pm every day, you suddenly notice people start to get into their homes and in the front yard where kids were playing and women were cutting vegetables is suddenly replaced by rushing steel and noise.
