About This Item
Istanbul: Uranus Yayinlari. 2021. New. Paperback. 16x16 cm. In Turkish and English. 72 p. 1990 yılının baharında Karadeniz Ereğli'ye maden ocaklarından kömür taşıyan bu treni diğer buharlılardan ayıran özelliği yükünün emek olmasıydı. 'Kara Tren', madencileri ve yeraltında insanüstü çabayla çıkardıkları kömürü taşımaktaydı; tren gücünü, madencilerin alın teriyle yoğurduğu kömürden almaktaydı. Madenciler yorgundu, 'Kara Tren'ler de... Kısa süre sonra buharlı lokomotifler depoya çekilip "müzelik" oldular.
Son yolculuklarına tanık olduğum madencileri ve emeğini taşıyan "45017, 45001"ile diğer buharlı lokomotifler neredeler acaba? Ereğli Garı'nın bir köşesinde müzelik mi oldular, yoksa hurda demir yığınına mı dönüştüler?
Ya anılar? Madencilerin, makinistin, ocakçının, onların geri dönüşünü özlemle bekleyen yakınlarının… Hepsi de siyah-beyaz fotoğrafın derinliğinde ve hüznünde gizliler. 'Kara Tren'in kömür karası, buhar beyazı fotoğrafa da yansıdı; ikisi birbirini tamamladı adeta. 'Kara Tren'in hüznüyle, siyah-beyaz fotoğrafın hüznü birleşti. Solgun fotoğraflar, o 'an'ların belgesi şimdi.
What distinguished this train, which is carrying coal between coal mines and Karadeniz Ereğli, from other steam locomotives is that its load was labour. The "Black Train" was carrying both the miners and the coal they had mined under the ground with a ceaseless effort; the train was drawing its strength from the coal kneaded with the sweat of the miners. The miners were tired, the "Black Trains" too… A short while after the final journey, steam locomotives were pulled into warehouse to sit in a corner and fall into decay.
I wonder where the "45017" and the "45001", which have transported miners and their labour and which I had the chance to witness their final journey and the other steam locomotives are now? Are they sitting in ruins in a corner of the Ereğli Railway Station?
What about the memories? The memories of miners, machinists, stokers, and their relatives longing for their return… They are now all hidden in the depth and sadness of the black and white photograph. The coal black colour of the "Black Train" has merged into the steam white colour of the photograph; the two almost complemented each other. The sadness of the "Black Train" met with the sadness of the black and white photograph. These faded photographs are the only attestations of those "moments" and those memories.
