Midwife Mother's Tahir
Sergeant Midwife mother; Kapuz was the joy of the summer resort of Zonguldak, where I was born, grew up, and a railway crosses the coast. He was the mother, the midwife of everyone, even though he was not his real midwife. His first wife's son was primary education inspector Ahmet Başaran. He would ask difficult questions. He would say, "What is absolute value?" I wouldn't know. That's why I didn't like him very much. No one knew his name except his wife and children. Everyone called her a midwife mother. He was not schooled midwife. It was obviously a midwife with a hearth. Our dog is the opposite to him. When he saw him, his chest would bark as much as it did. We used to say, "The midwife is coming," when we heard the dog's excessive barking, we would greet him at the door. He used to pray loudly and repeatedly several times, saying, "My God, you laugh anyone, gabdumaaa, gabdurusay viyaklatdumaaa." We had memorized the words now. The part we understand, namely the explanation of his prayer, my grandmother used to say: "The veterans who returned to their homes after the wars that lasted for 12 years suffered a lot. His father turned from a soldier in a big hole in his head. He continued his remaining life with pain. Some of them have never returned. In other words, the cannonball martyred them without suffering. "" The midwife mother's wife Tahir Sergeant used to sell oleaster, roasted chickpeas and candy bars in her small shop. The shop had his house to the right and the coffeehouse of his tenant Uncle Mecit on the left. Tahir sergeant, I said with the habit of his mouth, his surname was Yolaçar. Do you know what road it led to? He opened the railroad, the railways… While the railways were being built, he was a sergeant, Çankırılı Tahir Yolaçar. He worked on both the Irmak - Filyos line and the Filyos - Çatalazğı line. While passing through Kapuz, the railway is close to the railway, which was built in 1936, near the Kilimli chauss (road)… Uncle Tahir; "I built these railways. "I built 68 tunnels and 1500 bridges." Mecit calling out to those sitting in front of your uncle's coffee house. They also object every time, sarcastically; They would say, "Don't throw, are there so many bridges?" When those who listened to him could not believe the numbers he gave and objected, Uncle Tahir became more angry. "Don't say lie Tahirrr," he would shout to Tahir Sergeant from the window of his house… Shouting when he got out of the tunnel and warning the passer; Marşandiz would come out breathless at the pass saying "choo, choo, choo, choo, choo"… Uncle Tahir brought the sound of the train to his shop when he heard it; He used to sing the poem of Behçet Çağlar and Faruk Nafiz Çamlıbel, a graduate of the Mining School, who started with "We got out of every war in ten years with an open forehead ..." and told the self-confidence of a people who knew how to shake off to break the circle of poverty and backwardness. In Beldi, Cemal Reşit Rey was inspired by the Tahir Sergeant of Midwife Anne ... I saw the accuracy of the figures given by Tahir Yolaçar when I conducted a research on the "Railway to Coal". Like Uncle Tahir, although I don't know the minor; I understood the incredible incident. The historical breakdown of the numbers was as follows: In 1925 the law was passed, in 1927 the first pickaxe was shot. On the 391-kilometer-long railway line between Irmak and Filyos after Kırıkkale, 1368 merfez and bridges, and 37 tunnels with a length of 8800 meters were built in 8 years and 8 months. 15 tunnels with a total length of 3 thousand 236 meters were plowed in the Filyos - Çatalağzı section of 14 thousand 684 meters, and 16 tunnels with a length of 3 thousand 764 meters were plowed in the 10 thousand 249 meters long Çatalağzı - Zonguldak section. In 1937, the railway reached the coal… So the numbers given by Tahir Sergeant were correct. First Midwife Mother, then Tahir Sergeant passed away forever. They died unbelievably… Suppose you are in the compartment of the longing train. The exit is from the tunnel. Sit back. He pulled the rope of the mechanic-styled whistle; dropped, drown, drown, drown, drown, drown, drown, drown, drown! Mixing rail sound to machine sound; Taka, plug, choo, choo… While watching the view from the window, come on, all together ... Taka tak, choo choo / dutti, dute, dute, dut, dut, düt, düt ... we knit with nets, the Motherland was all over. Düüttt, holly, düt, düt, düt, düt, düt / taka tak, choo, choo The Engineer whose Monument was Built Abdullah Tiryaki Bey, an engineer who is renowned for his important contributions in the construction of Çankırı railway, was appointed as the chief engineer for the Irmak - Zonguldak line. While many workers from neighboring provinces were working in the construction of the railway, some of these workers lost their lives in various accidents during the construction of the railway. The 805 km Filyos - Irmak railway line of the Railway Project to Coal is tendered to the Swedish - Danish group NoHAB Company on February 7, 1927. Railway construction started with the construction of a pier in Filyos in May 1927. Railway construction by Filyos reaches Balıkısık Station in 1930. In response to Zonguldak Governor Akif Behzat Iyena's letter of thanks for the railway line, Atatürk thanks to the sincere feelings shown in the telegram he sent from Yalova with the signature of Reisicumhur on July 4, 1930, as a part of the '' Filyos - Ereğli line was opened
