Maeklong Railway Market, Thailand
This is some kind of weird but real Railway path that exists in this world only. The trains travel straight from the middle of the market which is just a few kilometres from Bangkok.
Every time a train goes on the path, the vegetable vendors have to pull up their stuff. A warning bell rings up before the train arrives and vendors get some time to prepare themselves.

Napier – Gisborne Railway Route, New Zealand

The distance between Napier to Gisborne by train is 212 kilometres but the rail line has been disused in its current state. It was done when the cost of repairs after a 2012 storm was deemed to outweigh foreseeable benefits.

Pamban Bridge, Rameshwaram, India
Pamban bridge is located in the world’s second most corrosive environment after Florida which makes its maintenance really hard. The view is really eye pleasing.

Death Railway
The Burma Railway in Thailand also known as the Death Railway was a 415-kilometer railway between Ban Pong, Thailand, and Thanbyuzayat, Burma. The Empire of Japan built it in 1943 to support its forces in the Burma campaign of World War II. This railway completed the rail link between Bangkok, Thailand and Rangoon, Burma (now Yangon).
