Turin, my city, the station, the tracks that through the train that also takes me to work outside the city, here on the right is visible the large maintenance / check beam of the passenger carriages that are controlled and powered by electric columns, inside the sheds are washed, cleaned, sanitized and repaired with visit pits for repairs on the bottom of the wagon or up to 3 m with side jacks when, for example, the carts must be replaced. Here the old but always effective diesel locomotives of the D 245 group are in action, from the unmistakable noise of the engine and from the still 3-axle movement with connecting rods. In the middle bend also the double track directed in France and for Milan. The line for Genoa is instead in the middle, the leftmost tracks alongside the old freight yard also lead to the large shunting and locomotive deposit of Lingotto. The yellow house on the right ex railway offices dates back to 1900.
once in the 1900s this large house was a home for railwaymen, then during the post-war period it was still inhabited and then abandoned surrounded by vegetation, recently divided and rented, to date I do not know, it remains a reference point for those who drive lined up during the hours of greatest traffic on the bridge.

Città molto bella, @Gio51x. Questa è una visione della mia città, Quilmes. Non è bello come Torino. Nella foto potete vedere la stazione ferroviaria di Quilmes, recentemente elettrificata. Se guardi a sud vedrai la birreria "Quilmes".
my city is big and to post it all it takes a long time, however, I publish 'more' SV, thanks for asking, as all the cities has different areas considering that it is not great, certainly the old town is very beautiful, born on a Roman camp (in Latin castrum / decumanus) perfectly squared, then it was extended much after 1955, I have at home books that tell it with vintage images, in fact there are non-central non-tourist areas that are interesting ...

Hi @Gio51x, thank you for the Turin city tour. I enjoyed it. You are an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. It seems that train is an important transport there.
Thank you, the train is one of the main transports as well as trams and buses that cover the whole city, with the train and the subway you can move quickly from several very distant points.
