There's a section in one of Michael Palin's travel documentaries that reminds me of this a little. He's travelling between Chile and Bolivia, and the train is running very, very late.

When they get to La Paz, they have to arrange for cars and people to be moved off the track - the trains are so notoriously bad that the railway line is not treated with any kind of concern, it's just part of the street.

Not quite as dangerous as here of course!
