Strangely the stadium has train tracks running through

The Cierny Balog field of amateur football team TJ Tatran Cierny in Slovakia (a country in Eastern Europe) surprised many fans and visitors with a train track and steam-powered trains located between arena and stands. Viewers can even witness the train passing by while the match is taking place.

The video quickly went viral at breakneck speed. Many people wonder what is going on. Is it a movie scene or is it real in real life? What's so special about this train? In fact, this is a train dedicated to serving tourists of the town with a continuous schedule during the summer.

It is known that Cierny Balog stadium was built in the 1980s, when the old railway line was no longer in use. But no one knows why the city government then chose this location to build a football field.

For 10 years after construction was completed, this track was only "decorative" because it did not work. But by the early 1990s, the track was repaired. In 1992, it reopened, serving tourists.

According to Amusing Planet, this is said to be the only stadium in the world that has an active train track running through. However, the Mirror (UK) said that every time the train passed, it would make a loud noise, affecting the players playing as well as limiting the visibility of some fans in the stands. .
