Kenya. Tsavo: 67, 5 people in the lion
1. You should never stop before sunset on the road in a shroud, and left the car open with keys in the ignition, go for a walk. I did just that when he returned, the keys in the lock was gone. Around, as always, we were only monkeys. The fact that a monkey could've stole the keys out of the car, I could not believe, so by removing his pockets and dug polsalona had until dark to run on their tracks. It looks like an approaching fucking: no keys not start the car, do not close the door and lift the glass around the shroud, the night, the roads go tribes of blacks with machine guns. To top it remembered an old movie in which two African lion at night eat people. The current situation seemed worthy of that crap into two layers. It was a year and a half ago, a mile from the junction of the old railway bridge over the Tsavo before.
Recently, in late March, I drove back there to walk across the savannah, kick the elephant poop and look at the railway siding, made a couple of shots. And now I googled the word «Tsavo» and found a tsimes:
"Eater OF Tsavo», «TSAVO INCIDENT», «terrible tales Tsavo», «THE MAN-EATERS OF TSAVO».
Departure of Tsavo. Wieden train with glass tanks of Star Wars
2. colonized East Africa, the British began to build a railway network, bringing together the entire Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. In 1898, leading the way from Lake Victoria to the ocean port of Mombasa, they reached the river Tsavo and were going to build a bridge and a patrol had begun serious trouble. Every night two lions came to the camp of the builders and ate them. So for six months, they ate 135 builders - 67 and a half per person.
In this situation, the capitalist model of management, are not familiar with the advanced construction methods and Volgobalta Belmorstroya showed its inconsistency. Migrant workers were scared and throwing shovels, began to disperse - the object is fully stood up, smell polymers. The chief of a construction engineer Paterson urged the workers not to go, but those from a safe distance kept sending him fuck with his imperialist money. As a result, the engineer Paterson's nothing left, how to hunt lions and after several failures (traps, ambushes, catching "live bait"), an engineer yourself extinguished both lions Kazlų.
Construction continued, the object passed, engineer Paterson wrote a book about this mess. And in 1996 it made a film "The Ghost and the Darkness," in which Michael Douglas catches smart-ass lions feeding on a bridge over the Tsavo builders.
3. Since the construction of the road is almost not changed, but after the departure of the British from Kenya in 1962 did not change at all, in some places disappeared. Some areas are abandoned or poluzabrosheny, British rails overgrown land in Kenya Kenyan savannah. Who is constantly working just passing through Tsavo portion Uganda Railway Nairobi-Mombasa. Much of the equipment - rails, sleepers (because of the termites in Africa were imported sleepers of stamped iron), roadside buildings, signs and semaphores - were on the road in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, along with old locomotives on the road goes to the locomotive. < br />
At the junction of Tsavo, as before, live switcher and guard. There's also live with their families, goats and chickens. Switchman converts compositions and manages semaphores, and guard it protects - as it should.
Here, nothing is happening, so they all remember. The guard immediately said: "This is something you've stuck close to the machine».
4. For the railway makes special bench «UR» (Uganda Railway):
5. tiles on a roof - «Basel mission». This "Basel Christians", which opened in 1865 the business of producing tiles in India. By 1913, their small factory in 2000 for the Indians molded tiles 60000 tiles a day. Sales department, as can be seen, too, worked adequately:
6. TOOLS demonstration of class superiority. Two blacks were pushing the cart from behind the handles and the white exploiter in panama sitting on the bench and when you have braked arm.
SPWI - most likely - Permanent Way Sub-inspectors.
What SVO is impossible to find out, but in Mozambique the railway put flower pots, which also says «SVO».
7. Unemployed elektrostolb:
8. Control switches and semaphore siding is made from a barn, which were signaling the winch and the old instruction:
9. transfers made between the paths and switching of the semaphore is performed by a whole battery of levers and winches:
10. Here - signaling system of the English company «Westinghouse Brake and Signal», 1935 by rail equipment in Chippenham:
11. A cutout in the floor of the barn cables from winches to drag blocks:
12. rollers and along paths
13. go to the "shooters" and semaphores installed before the bridge:
It is not known how many in Kenya, but in neighboring Tanzania lions each year kill an average of 70 people.
A couple of months ago, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi have announced plans to stroitelsvu new unified railway network.
This is understand - will be a holiday, not there ...
