Description

This is not actually a slum by local standards, as it's typical for train tracks to be surrounded by housing in this fashion. On the right, a homemade push-car is traveling on the railroad tracks. The tracks are still active, with trains coming every 10 minutes or so. (date: 2005-03-21)
