The Masters of Marmaray

The masters of Marmaray: Marmaray's machinists, who have been serving the residents of Istanbul for nearly two weeks, spoke to VATAN… Why was the trouble on the first day… What to do when the emergency brake is released… What will happen if there is an earthquake or flood…

Approximately 2 weeks have passed since Marmaray, which is described as the Proj Project of the Century lam, commenced flights. On the first day, there was no problem except the power cut and the emergency braking by the passengers. VATAN spoke to the machinists who were passing Marmaray passengers under the Bosphorus. The mechanics who came together for VATAN and all dressed as pilots are called 'masters of Marmaray'.

6 machinist, all selected from people who have at least 80 years of experience and have never been fined, works at Marmaray. All machinists working in Marmaray have undergone 6 month special training. Marmaray, which is used by machinists, makes 216 flights twice a day. Engineers Ömer Taşkın (31), İbrahim Düzer (27), Yener Yavuz (50), Yusuf Uçbağlar (51), Reverend Yiğit (38), Turgut Ayar (55), Fikret Kudun (53), Uğur Kızılırmak (52) and Uğur Kızılırmak (46) Mehmet Çolak (XNUMX years old) and Ertaç

Köy (46) told VAETAN what happened in Marmaray ...

'Female mechanic works hard'

“It is a bit difficult to work in this system where the area to be intervened manually, such as female engineer Marmaray, is large. The fully automated subway system is more comfortable for women. We have operated and continue to run every vehicle such as conventional trains, high-speed trains such as freight and passenger trains. Our ancients started the profession with a diesel maneuvering locomotive. The most modern unit we use is Marmaray. ”

Brake attracts curious passengers

Otomatik The automatic system is deactivated when passengers intervene by pulling the emergency braking system. We need to intervene as a mechanic. In such a case, trains are delayed due to the density of passengers. Emergency emergency brakes so far panic attacks, who want to get air, heart disease, wondering, and a lot of people who said he thought the arm sling. There's the same arm on the subway, but no one pulls. When the emergency stop brake is applied and the train stops, we first remove the key from the cabin. Passing through the cabins and passengers, we go to the door where the emergency brake has been drawn and issued with a special key and then we return to the cabin from the passenger. There is a delay because there are too many passengers. 5 you brake. there is a delay of 112.5 minutes if you have to go between the full 15 meter passengers if it is pulled on the wagon. When the brake stops, all trains stop.

Shirt no longer gets dirty

“Approximately 4 minutes between Sirkeci and Uskudar, but the time traveled in the tube passage is about 65 seconds. When we used diesel trains we used to wear white shirts and enter the tunnel, our shirt would be smoke and gray if desired. We used to wear gray shirts when we were using old trains to make sure that dirt wasn't clear. Marmaray'la officially off the tractor and Mercedes as if we were riding. Everything is automatic if there's no malfunction. The current system enables driving and door opening. We're closing the door. When we first went through the tube passage, we were as excited as when we started school or the first time we boarded the plane, but now we are used to it. ”

The system takes the train out

Imiz We are all experienced, but before we started we had 6 month Marmaray training. In addition to unit recognition, technical, electrical, mechanical, road and signal information trainings, we also received health and first aid certificates. We were trained in emergencies such as earthquakes, floods and flooding. Inside the tube passage is the 12 discharge booster. 12. when the booster is activated, which means a huge flood. Trains are coming out of the tunnel. The system leaves no train in the tunnel. If the train is already inside, the doors won't close. The system secures itself by closing the flood-flaps in Sirkeci and Üsküdar when the trains exit. ”

The door does not open inside the tunnel

“Especially 5 at the same time in the first days. 3 in the wagon, we've even seen the emergency brake. When the train stopped and went to the wagon to check what happened when we said that the passenger pulled the passenger says he pulled. Passengers 'Why did not prevent' when we ask no one does not sound. We certainly don't open the door in the tunnel when the train stops. On the first day, when the train was cut off, the 10-15 meter remained on the platform. We contacted the command center and evacuated the passengers. This evacuation took place entirely in accordance with the emergency scenario. The problems will surely be reduced once the paid transfers start. ”
