O intrebare...de ce se schimba boghiurile la intrarea in tara sau la iesire? sunt diferente de ecartament? :?:
Se schimba boghiurile deoarece in Republica Moldova si Rusia ecartamentul este mai mare cu 1-2 palme. (Astfel trenurile din Europa nu mai puteau ajunge sa aduca provizii armatei). Ecartamentul este mai mare deoarece tarul Rusiei a luat hotararea ca, liniile ferate sa fie mai late cu o palma. Si pentru ca era o persoana foarte importanta au schimbat toate sinele. Nu stiu prea multe din domeniul istoriei, dar am inteles ca la constructia unei rute celebre din Rusia (nu mai stiu care) ar fi o curba foarte stransa deoarece; pe atunci tarul lua majoritatea deciziilor (daca nu toate), si a trasat o linie dreapta pe harta Rusiei, care semnifica linia ferata. Dar, pentru ca a tinut degetul pe linie cand a trasat linia, in loc sa iasa o dreapta a iesit o dreapta si conturul degetului. Cei care stiu mai multe despre aceasta ii rog sa ne povesteasca.
am dat acum intamplator peste topic si mi/am adus aminte de poveste (in generala ne/a spus/o profa dar personajul vinovat de greseala era tov. Stalin
) ), am gasit si povestea adevarata :
In 1850, according to the legend, Nicholas was shown the plans for a rail link between the tsarist northern capital and Moscow. Taking an instant dislike to the convoluted route being proposed, he grabbed a ruler and drew a straight line between the two cities. One third of the way down, the tsar's royal finger inadvertently got in the way and the railway line developed an unplanned bump.
Too scared to return to the tsar, the railway planners duly incorporated an 11-mile curve into the line known ever since as the Tsar's Finger.
Sadly, the truth is more prosaic. The curve, also called the Verebinsky bypass, was actually built in 1877, 26 years after the line came into being, to circumvent a steep gradient that lasted for 10 miles. Heading for St Petersburg, trains would pick up so much speed that they steamed straight past the next station, while those heading for Moscow needed four locomotives to get up the hill.
Railway buffs suspect a little known 19th-century Russian writer, Nikolai Grech, of starting the finger story, although the long history of Russian leaders playing havoc with the plans of architects and designers no doubt helped its credibility.
A similar story is told about Josef Stalin who, when presented with two different plans for the Moskva hotel, signed across the middle of the two. As the architects were too frightened to ask Stalin which plan he wanted, both designs were used and the hotel, still standing just off Red Square, has two different facades.
