Synopsis
Un tren que pasa ante sus ojos cambia la vida de Trinidad Pineda Chinas, un hombre que a partir de ese momento, y siguiendo los railes de sus ansias de saber, conoce lugares, saberes, oficios y personas que nunca imagino, hasta el momento en que se convierte, con sus companeros ferroviarios, en la vanguardia de una lucha obrera que puso al pais y al regimen contra las cuerdas. Una novela de hombres, y de las mujeres que los sostienen, en la que el tren es metafora de la vida.
