Today I want to share some photos that I took when I was getting to know more about the work that my love does.
This is his passion and what he has been doing for 10 years, I knew a little of what he does, what he likes and currently continues to do, even though we are in quarantine, his work never stops.
Here I show you a few photos of some areas where I was able to walk and that are not accessible to users.
This is the railroad that connects two States of Venezuela allowing users to move more quickly from some areas of the Miranda state with the Capital District, Caracas.
En estas dos fotos vemos el área de talleres. Esta área se llama así porque es donde llevan a los trenes y cuando necesitan alguna reparación y corregir las ruedas, en la entrada podemos observar que dentro hay un tren, al cual le están haciendo mantenimiento y correcciones de sus ruedas.
In these two photos we see the workshop area. This area is called that because it is where they take the trains and when they need some repair and correct the wheels, at the entrance we can see that there is a train inside, which is doing maintenance and correction of its wheels.
En la primera foto estoy yo y detrás de mí están:
Un Unimog, este es un vehículo que es realmente un camión mediano que puede circular y transportar material tanto en la vía férrea como en la carretera.
Y una locomotora más a la derecha con una plataforma, está locomotora sirve para auxiliar el tren en caso de cualquier emergencia e incluso tiene la fuerza necesaria para empujar el tren en caso de que se quede sin tracción, esto ha llegado a suceder y he estado presente en estos hechos ya que se han presentado incidentes donde se corta la electricidad.
In the first photo behind me are:
A Unimog, this is a vehicle that is really a medium truck that can circulate and transport material on the railway
and on the road.
And more to the right a locomotive with a platform, this locomotive serves to assist the train in case of any emergency and even has the necessary force to push the train in case it runs out of traction, this has happened and I have been present in these events since there have been incidents where electricity is cut.
Estos son los trenes, aquí los vemos separados pero realmente para el uso diario y transportar tantos usuarios al día unen dos trenes como uno solo. Hacen un acoplamiento donde dos trenes se unen formando un tren con 8 vagones. En la foto se puede notar como los trenes tienen debajo una parte puntiaguda y justo al lado de esa parte hay un hueco, bueno, ambos trenes tienen lo mismo pero en posiciones diferentes para que puedan unirse y formar un tren de composición doble
These are the trains, here we see them separated but really for daily use and transporting as many users a day join two trains as one. They do a coupling where two trains come together forming a train with 8 wagons. In the photo you can see how the trains have a pointed part underneath and right next to that part there is a gap, well, both trains have the same but in different positions so they can be coupled and form a double composition train.
Esta área que vemos aquí es también usada para remolcar algunos trenes hasta que la vía esté libre.
This area that we see here is also used to tow some trains until the track is clear.
Este es uno de los vagones que pertenece a un tren que tuvo un accidente hace algunos años, fue un accidente terrible y la parte delantera del tren quedó completamente destrozada, lamentablemente el conductor perdió la vida en ese accidente.
This is a wagon that belongs to a train that had an accident a few years ago, it was a terrible accident and the front of the train was completely destroyed, unfortunately the driver lost his life in that accident.
Estos son unos trenes saliendo del área de talleres
These are some trains leaving the workshop area
Beautiful and colorful life of a train conductor
All the images in this post were made by me, I am the author.
