The look of a train driver

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.

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.

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.

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.

This area that we see here is also used to tow some trains until the track is clear.

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.
