            ChME3t-5790 shunts the reception humps at Temirtau Marshalling yards, May the 16th 2024.

ЧМЭ3т-5790 маневровый на сортировочной станции Темиртау, Карагандинская область, Казахстан.

We drive alongside the vast marshalling yards spreading east from Temirtau in search of some railway subject matter. At the far end of the yards next to the yard control tower is a station called Janaaul consisting of a pair of platforms with a derelict prefabricated concrete shelter, freshly whitewashed non the less. A convenient footbridge spans the yard neck, including the hump. There is a resident family of dogs with a fresh litter of pups, eyes closed still, born under a piece of discarded chipboard cupboard and sunning themselves. We meet with no bother here at all, though there isn't really much happening so after a while we drive back into Temirtau to find lunch. This is not so easy, if we wanted to get drunk in dark empty bars it would be no problem. Eventually finding a place, we order soup with noodles, a staple and usually good. Besides a solitary drinker and the staff, we are the only people present. It's a bit grim inside so we go outside and sit on the terrace. There is an air of neglect and misery here. The soup is served lukewarm with chicken. It is not worth the risk to eat it. Jane points this out when the waitress comes to collect our still full bowls of food. The town is dismal, which with a steady source of income it should not be. We decide to return to the rear of the steelworks.
