Every day, hundreds of people – young and old –hurry to board the train in order to beat the hectic traffic in Lagos.

Then you spot them- either sitting inside the train, on top of the train, or hanging by the railings… all that matters is that they beat the train schedule and arrive at their destination, safely.

But the thrust of this photo report is not about the life of train commuters but the life that exists at the rail line.

Have you ever traveled around Lagos by train? What is your take on the experience?
