What makes the market special is that it occupies part of a train line. A few times a day, a train runs directly through the market. A few minutes before the train comes, vendors lower their umbrellas and move some of their produce away from the train tracks.

Additional Information
The Maeklong Railway Market, in contrast to conventional markets, lies directly on the railroad tracks. Traders exhibit their products like fresh marine foods, fruits, veggies, and other regional items right on the surface where the train traverses. As the locomotive nears, traders swiftly pull back their covers and shift their products, creating a path for the train. The rapid transformation of a vibrant marketplace into a vacant track for a transient train within a few moments is an exciting and extraordinary sight.
