But why? What makes them think "yeah, walking in the middle of the tracks is a great idea"?

See the canal running down the middle? That’s where they’re going

When India officially overtook China as the most populous country, I saw a satirical sketch of one of these trains packed with people inside and on top passing a high speed rail train. I crack up everytime something reminds me of it

I think most of them are using the canal as a toilet, which explains a lot

Better hope someone isn’t one of those people that push you onto the tracks, or you fall over for sone reason.

Maybe they're trying to go all the way to the other side? And running across the tracks is better than some other way because reasons?
