Injini yotenthayi imakufikitsani pamwamba pa munthu wina
Injini yaying'ono ikanatha ndipo ikuchitabebe.
Chaka cha 2016 chinali chizindikiro cha zaka 125 za imodzi mwa njanji zapamwamba kwambiri za Colorado. Kumapeto kwa June 1891, Pikes Peak Cog Railway inayamba, ndipo sizinayambe kuyambirapo. Ndi malo otchuka omwe amakopera mabanja, zolemba zambiri ndi anthu omwe akufunafuna zochitika zokongola, zokhazokha ku Colorado.
Sitimayi ili pafupi ndi Colorado Springs m'tawuni yaing'ono ya Manitou Springs.
Amakwera phirilo mpaka kukafika pampando wa Pike Peak, mmodzi wa otchuka kwambiri ku Colorado "fourteeners," kapena mapiri omwe amaposa mamita 14,000 pamwamba pa nyanja.
Ena amatcha Pikes Peak "America's Mountain."
Zomwe izi zikutanthawuza kwa oyendayenda mungathe kufika pamwamba pazitsulo zinayi popanda kuswa thukuta. Kuyenda maulendo kungakhale kovuta kwambiri, makamaka phindu lapamwamba.
Oyenda amayenda kudutsa Ruxton Creek, Englemann Canyon, miyala yaikulu, Mount Almagre komanso Minnehaha Falls. Mudzawona zina mwa zamoyo zakale kwambiri padziko lapansi, mitengo ya bristlecone pine 2,000 kuphatikizapo chaka chimodzi.
Dziwani za Sitima
M'chilimwe, Pikes Peak Cog Railway imanyamula anthu paulendo wa maola atatu ndi theka kupita kumapiri kuti akaone nsomba zofiira ndi mitengo ya pine komanso miyamba ya buluu yomwe Colorado amadziwika. Anthu okwera Lucky amatha kuona pang'ono za nsomba, nyulu kapena nkhosa zazikulu panjira.
Ndipotu, dera lino ndilo limodzi la gulu lalikulu la ziweto zazikulu mu dziko. Ngati mlengalenga ndiwonekeratu, okwera ndege akhoza kuona malo a Denver kutali.
Mu kugwa, ulendowu ndi njira yokondweretsa kusintha masamba a masamba. Pamene mukukwera pamwamba, masamba amasintha nthawi zosiyana za nyengo, kutanthauza kuti ulendo umodzi ukhoza kukhala ngati utawaleza.
Ndipo m'nyengo yozizira, sitimayo imasintha kupita ku Sukulu ya Santa, kuti ikhale yosangalatsa komanso yodzikongoletsa nthawiyo. Malingaliro a mapiriwa akuphimbidwa mu chikopa chofewa cha chisanu choyesa Khrisimasi.
Mbiri ya Sitima
Kubwerera kumbuyo kwa zaka za m'ma 1800, injini yotentha yotenthayi inayamba kugwiritsira ntchito luso lake lokwanira kukwera kumalo okwera komanso pamtunda wautali, pogwiritsa ntchito dongosolo lapadera la "cog".
Sitima zamakono zimagwiritsira ntchito kusokonezeka kwa magudumu pamsewu kukankhira magalimoto kutsogolo, kumangoyamba masewera oposa 6 peresenti (kapena kuthamanga msanga mpaka 9 peresenti). Koma galimoto yopangira njinga, kapena sitima yapamwamba, imatha kusunga masewera olimbitsa thupi mpaka 48 peresenti - chofunikira pamene mukulankhula za kukulitsa mbali ya munthu wina.
Kuchita malonda: Sitima zamagalimoto zimayendetsa galimoto pang'onopang'ono - makilomita 9 pa ora pa Sitima ya Pikes Peak. Zimapangitsa kuti ulendowo umve ngati wokwera, komanso amapatsa okwera nthawi yowonjezerapo kuti ayambe kuwombera bwino.
Masiku ano, injini imodzi yokha ya steam ikugwirabe ntchito kuti igwetse galimoto yamakedzana, yomwe ili pafupi pafupifupi makilomita asanu ndi anayi pamwamba pa phirilo.
Malangizo Othandiza
Chifukwa cha kumtunda kwapamwamba, oyendayenda ena amatha kumva kumtunda kwa matenda. Nazi malingaliro a momwe mungakonzekerere ndi kuyendetsa matenda a kutalika ku Colorado .
Ikani chakudya chamasana ndikumwa kuti mudye pamsonkhanowu chifukwa mzere wopezera chakudya ku Nyumba ya Msonkhano ikhoza kukhala yayitali, ndipo mumaloledwa pafupi theka la ora pamwamba, chifukwa cha zotsatira zake.
Musaphonye mbali yakumpoto ya msonkhano. Ndi kumene mungapeze zithunzi zabwino kwambiri, komanso kutalika kumene kumapitako kunyumba. Chenjerani ndi Phiri Lopanda Pansi, chodabwitsa choopsa koma choopsa.
Chokondweretsa
Njira ina yodziwira phiri - ndikugwira ntchito thukuta lalikulu - ili pamtunda wa Manitou. Sitima yopita pamwamba pa phiri la Manitou yomwe inkapatsidwa mwayi wokhoma madzi otsekedwa kutsekedwa mu 1990 ndipo yakhala yotchuka kwambiri komanso yothamanga kwa othamanga ovuta. Tikukamba mapindu aatali zikwi 2,000 pansi pa mailosi. Newbies sangathe kutero, koma ngati mukuyang'ana vuto (ndipo mukukonzekera bwino, mwasungunuka bwino komanso mukuyenera), perekani izi.
Pali njira zingapo zosiyana siyana zomwe mungatenge, malingana ndi momwe mungakwanitse komanso kufooka. Sankhani mapu a mapu ku depot kapena Incline Base Camp kuti mukonze njira yanu. Afunseni maulendo kuti athandizidwe, komanso. Amatha kukudziwitsani za chitetezo chazitali, ponena za nyama zakutchire, matope kapena njira zina zotsekera.
Mukhozanso kukwera sitima kupita pamwamba ndikukwera njinga kubwerera kumsewu. Kupanikiza Zopanda malire ndi Pikes Peak Tours Bike Tours akhoza kukuthandizani.
Malo otchedwa Colorado Springs ndi malo odziwika kwambiri okwera njinga zamtunda ndipo kwenikweni amatchulidwa kuti ndi imodzi mwa mizinda 10 yamapikisano mumtunda.
Kaya mumakumana ndi Pikes Peak kudzera pa njinga, mapazi kapena sitima, ndizoyenera ku Colorado.
