Ungahlala Kanjani Uphephile Futhi Usemthethweni Ngezithombe Nezitimela

Amathrekhi esitimela kumnandi ukuwashutha. Ngemigqa ehamba phambili nobuciko obupholile, abathwebuli bezithombe abaningi bathutheleka kojantshi bezithombe eziphezulu, izithombe zomndeni, nezithombe ezinobuciko. Kunezingozi eziningi zokuthwebula ezithombeni kojantshi - futhi ezimweni eziningi, ungagcina wephule umthetho. Nakhu okudingeka ukwazi.

Ngihlala eNtshonalanga Virginia. Sine ubuhle obuhle nemibala yokuwa abantu abahamba amamayela ukubona. Sinikezela ngomlando, ukuqhuma kwamanzi amhlophe, ukuhamba ngebhayisikili nokuhamba izintaba… ziningi izizathu zokuthi abantu bahambe esifundazweni sethu. Sisekhaya emalahleni. Cishe maphakathi nolwandle olusempumalanga, eduze neWashington, DC, okusho ukuthi abantu abaningi unyaka ngamunye badlula lapha lapho besuka endaweni yoku-A beya kuB.

Ngabe konke lokhu kufana ngani? Izitimela… eziningi zazo. Sinezitimela zamalahle, izitimela zokubona izingosi ngokukhululeka, nezitimela zabagibeli ezihambahamba ukuze zisize abantu ngokushesha. Sizwa izitimela kaningi edolobheni lami, sesibe ndikindiki ngenxa yomsindo wazo ophithizelayo. Kuze kube uzwa leyo mpempe, lokho kuzokuvusa ngo-2 ekuseni. Kanye nakho konke lokho izitimela ezinikela ngemiphakathi yethu, kuza inhlekelele. Ngifisa sengathi bengingasho ukuthi bekuyinto engajwayelekile ukubona isitimela sibandakanya ingozi ezindabeni. Imvamisa, akuyona iphutha lezitimela.

Izibalo - Izinhlekelele

I-FRA, i-Federal Railroad Administration, ibika ukushona kwabantu abangama-430 ngonyaka ngokungena ngokungemthetho kojantshi. Cishe ukulimala okuningi. Operation Lifesaver, ohlose ukuvimbela izingozi zesitimela ngokungena ngokungemthetho, usitshela njalo emahoreni amathathu, umuntu noma imoto ishayiswa isitimela. Manje, ngaphambi kokuba siye kude kakhulu… asisuse izingxabano endleleni…

Ngizwile izimpikiswano ngaphambili, ngakho-ke nginqume ukubheka umbiko we-FRA ngokufa kwabantu kusukela ngo-2005-2010. Kulo mbiko kukhona amanothi avela kubahloli bezinkulungwane zokufa kwabantu abacishe babe ngu-3,000 XNUMX okwenzeka ngaleyo minyaka. Yebo, eziningi zalezi zigameko zibandakanya utshwala, izidakamizwa nokuzibulala. Kodwa kuneminye imibiko evele yenza inhliziyo yami yacwila. Odade ababili abasebasha ababethwebula indawo ebukekayo, baphuma endleleni yesitimela esisodwa, bangena emgwaqweni wesinye isitimela. Lokho kubukeka kwenzeka kakhulu. Abantu bezwa isitimela, babheke ngapha nangapha, basibone, futhi akukaze kwenzeke kubo ukuthi kube khona umzuzwana ovela kolunye uhlangothi.

Umfundi oqopha ifilimu yekilasi lasekolishi, akakwazanga ukuzitholela yena kanye namagiye akhe ahamba ngokushesha ngokwanele. Hhayi okukodwa noma okubili, kodwa izehlakalo ezintathu zokuhamba ngesihlalo esitimela, omama bafa nezingane zabo bezama ukubakhulula. Kuzwelonke ngonyaka odlule sibe nabathwebuli bezithombe ababili abalahlekelwa izimpilo zabo emikhondweni. Ingxenye eyodwa yabasebenzi bamafilimu, abangayinakanga imvume yabo enqatshiwe futhi bathwebula noma kunjalo, kanti enye yenza iseshini yamakhasimende kumathrekhi. Kule mpelasonto edlule, kubulewe umuntu oyedwa kwathi abanye ababili balimala kabi ngesikhathi iqembu limi ndawonye kojantshi bezama ukuthola izithombe. Ngifuna ukuveza nje ukuthi lokhu kufa kwenzeka kubantu abebecabanga into efanayo oyicabangayo njengamanje… ”Ngingakwazi ukuphuma endleleni.”

Imibono eyiphutha - Ukuqagela - Izaba

Kunemibono eminingi eyiphutha mayelana nezitimela.

“Ubani ongezwa isitimela siyeza?”  Ezindaweni eziningi ama-acoustics akulungele nje ukuthi ungezwa isitimela kuze kube yilapho sekwephuze kakhulu isikhathi, angasondela cishe ngamamitha ayi-10 ngaphambi kokuthi wazi ukuthi akhona. Kwesinye isikhathi, ukunanela kungenza izitimela zizwakale zisondela noma ziqhelelene, futhi zinikeze nomqondo ongelona iqiniso wokuthi ziqhamuka ngakuphi. Ngisho nokuba ne-hoodie kuphela kukhonjisiwe ukuthi kwanele ukuvimba umsindo wesitimela (esitholakala emibikweni ye-coroner eshiwo ngenhla).

"Angikho kojantshi, ngithwebula nje ngiseduze kwabo."  Zimbili izinto lapha: eyodwa, usengenzeka ungene ngokweqile. Kufanele uthathe ujantshi wesitimela osezingeni eliphansi elingaba ngu-30 ft, 15ft ohlangothini ngalunye, kepha kunezindawo lapho ama-ROWs anganweba aze afike ku-200ft. Okwesibili, iningi lezimoto zesitimela zigudle ujantshi okungenani ngo-3ft ngapha nangapha ngakho-ke * hhayi emikhondweni *, akusho ukuthi usucacile engcupheni. Namanje akuwona umqondo omuhle.

"Ngiyabona ukuthi akukho okuzayo." Okwamanje. Ubuwazi ukuthi izitimela akuyona ukuphela kwento ezihamba kojantshi? Yonke imizila yesitimela inezimoto zomsebenzi nezokulungisa nazo ezihamba kojantshi bazo. Lezi zimoto zivame ukuza ngokushesha futhi zinomsindo omncane kakhulu kunezakwabo ezibhongayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinhlobo eziningi zezitimela zisebenzisa imikhondo efanayo. Ngakho-ke umzuzu owodwa, ungaba nesitimela samalahle esihamba kancane, esilandelayo… isitimela sabagibeli esinejubane elikhulu.

Ngakho-ke, njengabathwebuli bezithombe yini okudingeka siyazi ukuze sihlale siphephile futhi sisemthethweni?

1. Ukuphambuka kumathrekhi kuyicala, kuzo zonke izifunda ezingama-50. Inhlawulo nezinye izijeziso zingahluka kuye ngesifundazwe. Futhi ngenkathi kungenzeka ukuthi kwakungazange kuphoqelelwe kakhulu phambilini, kunenhlangano ekhulayo yokuphoqelela ukungena ngokweqile kojantshi. I-FRA iqhubeka nokuthola iziphathimandla zikahulumeni nezasekhaya zibakhuthaza ukuthi bathuthukise ukuphepha kojantshi.

2. Amathrekhi alahliwe yinkinga ekhohlisayo. I-Operation Lifesaver iphinde iseluleke, AKEKHO amathrekhi okufanele acatshangwe ukuthi alahliwe * ngeqiniso. Ukuthi awusoze wasibona isitimela esigabeni esithile sikaloliwe, noma ngabe sikhule kakhulu futhi sishoda ngezingxenye zesitimela, akusho ukuthi sishiyiwe. Isaphethwe ngumuntu othile ngakho-ke kuyiphutha ukuyisebenzisa. Izikhathi eziningi, amathrekhi ayekisiwe ukusebenza futhi kamuva avuselelwa, ngakho-ke lawo mathrekhi ake athula angafaka isitimela sosayizi ogcwele nganoma yisiphi isikhathi.

3. Bangu kangcono izinketho. I-Rails-to-Trails ngumqondo owesabekayo othathe ojantshi bakudala wabenza imigwaqo yokuhamba ngebhayisikili emangalisayo kanye / noma nezindlela zokuhamba izintaba. Ezimweni eziningi, izingxenye ezingcono Kakhulu zamathrekhi, okwethu abathwebuli zithombe, zigcinwe emizileni… amabhuloho nemihubhe. Ziguqulwe impela ukuze ziwele kalula, kepha insimbi efanayo, ukhuni netshe (nephuzu elimangalisayo lokushabalala) esilithanda kakhulu likhona. Ngisho ngokungathi sína… hlola lokhu gorgeous izindawo ezivela ezweni lonke…

Ngakho-ke, siwatholaphi amathrekhi angempela asemthethweni okudutshulwa kuwo? Akulula.

Ukubheja okuhle kakhulu kokuphepha kwakho konke uku mane ususe amathrekhi wesitimela njengengxenye ye- * mindset yezindawo zakho *. Uma NGEMPELA udinga isethi yamathrekhi, uthi wenza umshado noma isikhathi sokuzibandakanya komqhubi noma unjiniyela, mhlawumbe, bazoba ngabokuqala ukukutshela ukuthi ungahambi emikhondweni… kodwa ake sithi bangathanda ukukufaka ngandlela thile. Ungaxhumana nenkampani yabo yesitimela yangakini ubuze ukuthi ngabe kukhona yini ongakhetha kukho futhi uthole imvume yezikhathi nezindawo ezifanele.

Uma ungayitholi imvume, EKUBHALWENI (njengakwimvume), ungazami ukusebenzisa amathrekhi abo. Ungathola umnyuziyamu wesitimela lapho uvunyelwe ukudubula khona. Kwezinye izindawo, ungathola ojantshi emapaki, kwesinye isikhathi ngisho nangemoto yesitimela, esebe yingxenye yempahla yepaki ngokuthengwa noma ngohlelo lwe-Rails-to-Trails olushiwo ngenhla, kepha FUTHI, ngoba nje basepaki Kusho ukuthi bangabepaki, kufanele uxhumane nezinsizakalo zepaki ukuthola kuqala.

{Futhi NGICELA, uma uthola imvume, noma usebenzisa umugqa oyingxenye yendawo yasemapaki… lapho kungenzeka khona, vele uzigcinele iklayenti, ungazithumeli ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Uma kufanele, ngicela, ucindezele ukubaluleka kokukwenza ngokuphepha nangokomthetho. Asifuni abathwebuli bezithombe abasha babone okwenzile futhi bacabanga ukuthi kulungile ukugxuma kunoma iyiphi imikhondo yakudala.}

Ekugcineni, esikuncenga ukuba ukwenze, yeka ukusebenzisa ujantshi wesitimela. Aziphephile nje. Ngaphandle kwalokho, hlola wonke amashothi amahle ongawathola ngaphandle kwawo ezindleleni eziguquliwe, ngoba uphephile futhi awujahile !!

Ngeminye imininingwane nge-Rails-to-Trails Conservancy sicela uvakashele iwebhusayithi yabo. Ungasesha imikhondo endaweni yangakini lapha. Ngolunye udaba olukhulu ngengozi yokuthwebula kojantshi sicela uvakashele Ibhulogi kaKat Forder.
