No, your eyes are not deceiving you. This is a real train passing through a real apartment building. And on purpose. This is Chongqing Rail Transit No. 2, a railway line in China. It also passes through a 19-story residential building, where the train passes every day.
The train is part of the transport system in Chongqing, a city in southwest China that has approx 49 million inhabitants. In order to avoid congestion, they had to find an efficient solution.

So when they planned a new housing complex, they designed it in such a way that this train can also run through it.

According to People's Daily, they even built railway station in sixth and seventh floors residential complex. Residents can thus literally jump on the train right in their own block. If you thought the residents of this complex were living a nightmare, you're wrong: this train is one of the quietest. How quiet? About that like a dishwasher.
