Grua de vaporN de M-0-19638Los accidentes en el sistema ferroviario mexicano, como en cualquier otra parte del mundo, suceden por diferentes causas y razones, entre las que podemos citar las fallas mecánicas, el exceso de velocidad, los desperfectos en rieles y durmientes, entre otros. Estos factores provocan la pérdida de equipo rodante y de arrastre, de infraestructura ferroviaria, e incluso de
vidas humanas.Anteriormente, cuando ocurría un accidente, la tripulación de los trenes de
pasajeros, de carga o mixtos procedía a abanderar el convoy, de manera inmediata, y con todo sentido de responsabilidad, a aproximadamente unkilómetro de distancia de cada lado de la vía. Esto se hacía con la finalidad de evitar un nuevo accidente con otro tren o vehículo ferroviario que transitara en su dirección. Una vez abanderado el tren se daba aviso de la situación al despachador de trenes, que era el responsable del tráfico ferroviario, para que él enviara la ayuda necesaria a fin de reparar los daños y liberar la vía en el menor tiempo posible. La ayuda consistía en enviar equipo ferroviario como grúas capaces de levantar locomotoras, coches y carros que se habían descarrilado, así como cuadrillas de por lo menos por
veinticinco hombres, que realizaban las labores de rescate. Estas cuadrillas contaban con una
amplia experiencia en trabajo de vía y en reparación mecánica de locomotoras y coches, pero antes de dar inicio a las operaciones, lo ingenieros de la División respectiva, así como los superintendentes y los oficiales de transportes debían efectuar una evaluación de los daños y organizar un plan de rescate del equipo rodante
y de reparación de la vía. Es evidente que las grúas de vapor jugaron un papel fundamental en el
trabajo de rescate y reparación de las vías y que los trabajadores ferrocarrileros se destacaron por su gran sentido de responsabilidad y por el hábil manejo que hacían del equipo necesario para realizar las maniobras
de salvamento, las cuales se ejecutaban con gran precisión y destreza.

English translation: Steam Crane NM-0-19638 Accidents in the Mexican rail system, as in any other part of the world, happen for different reasons and causes. Among those that we can cite are mechanical failures, excess of speed, imperfections in rails and sleepers, among others. These factors lead to the loss of rolling stock and towed equipment,
rail infrastructure, and even human lives. Previously, when an accident occurred, the crew of the trains of passengers, cargo or mixed trains proceeded to flag the convoy immediately, and with all sense of responsibility, approximately one kilometer away from each side of the railroad. This was done in order to avoid a new accident with another train or rail vehicle that transited in the same direction. Once the train was flagged, the train dispatcher, who was responsible for rail traffic, was notified of the situation, so that he could send the necessary help in order to repair the damage and free the road in the shortest possible time. The help consisted in sending railway equipment, such as cranes capable of lifting locomotives and cars that had been derailed, as well as crews of at least
twenty-five men, who performed the rescue work. These crews had extensive experience in track work and mechanical repair of locomotives and cars, but before starting operations, the engineers of the respective division, as well as the superintendents and officers had to carry out an assessment of the damage and organize a rescue plan for the rolling stock and repair of the track. It is evident that steam cranes played a fundamental role in the work of rescue and repair of the tracks and that the railroad workers stood out for their great sense of responsibility and for the skillful handling they made of the equipment necessary to perform rescue missions, which were executed with great precision and dexterity.
