oncoming trains can't disrupt this marketplace

Watch how quickly this Bangkok marketplace reconstitutes itself on the train tracks once the very-real train has passed. I'm most impressed with the placement of goods sitting on the ground, between the ties, so that the train barely clears them. These entrepreneurs clearly have done this many times



I'm trying to imagine what this might look like in Redwood City on the Caltrain tracks, especially when the Baby Bullet comes screaming through.

OMG, that's AMAZING! Here we would be too worried about all of the dirt and fumes from the train and what that would do to the goods. Plus, someone would sue the train co. as soon as they got hurt.
