A train driver was caught applying makeup in the cab as the loco hurtled along track.
She was seen fixing her eyebrows with a makeup pen.
Her hands appear to be away from the wheel as the train speeds through a built-up area.

The train operator was filmed applying makeup on a train with the registration FR.0029 on the Metro CDMX in Mexico City yesterday (7 May).
Locals reacted angrily and the train firm launched an investigation.
They pointed out that many of their train services are now automated.
But the driver in question will still face a disciplinary procedure, as reported by Need To Know.
A Metro CDMX spokesperson said: “In relation to a video circulating on social media where a train driver is seen putting on makeup while doing her job, the Metro would like to report that an investigation was launched and a corresponding administrative procedure will be carried out to sanction the employee.
“It should be noted that the operation of trains has automatic piloting to guarantee safety conditions on scheduled routes.”
One local said: “So why do you have drivers if the metro has an autopilot system?”
Another said: “What’s strange about this? Women do the same thing in any vehicle.”
Joseph remarked: “Trains can run without drivers, but the union got involved and that’s why there are people as operators.”
Jose commented: “And then they will say that it was down to a mechanical failure.”
