・"The Undead Gaucho" はアルゼンチンの民間 UFO 調査員で、youtube でも盛んに発言している。彼の youtube チャンネルは

 The Undead Gaucho - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheUndeadGaucho/videos

・その彼が自身の不可解な目撃事件を語っている。UFO とは無関係の事件だが珍しい内容。

要旨(デタラメ)


・"The Undead Gaucho"(W) は、酒瓶を抱えた酔っぱらい(D)が線路をフラフラ歩いているのを目撃。

・D の後ろから機関車が接近。W は D が轢かれる現場を目撃し、大声で叫んで列車を止めた。

・機関車の底と線路の間の隙間は狭く、W が横から覗くと D は肉片になっていた。

・ところが、不可解なことに D は無傷で線路から這い出てきて歩み去った。もう線路に肉片はなかった。

・W は自分の正気を疑ったが、近くにいたホームレスもこの不可解なシーンを目撃していた。

um
00:13
actually this story
00:16
actually blows my mind so much like it
00:18
made me feel
00:19
so uncomfortable when it happened that i
00:22
feel like
00:22
my mind just for like tries to forget
00:25
about it because i can't find an
00:26
explanation to what happened
00:28
so uh this happened
00:32
maybe i don't know like six years ago or
00:35
five years ago
00:36
no like six years ago probably and it
00:38
was here in argentina
00:41
um i was obviously researching ufos and
00:44
stuff i was super into that
00:46
uh so i was looking into high strength
00:50
and stuff
00:50
it's always there you know so i always
00:52
take that into consideration
00:54
you know if you're looking into this
00:55
kind of stuff you never know what could
00:58
happen
00:58
you know like you could you maybe
01:02
you lost your mind and you're starting
01:03
to see stuff you know what i mean but um
01:07
i was at this nightclub and i was like
01:10
working at the nightclub
01:12
and i decided to leave early
01:15
uh because i was like i don't know i was
01:17
just like talking about money or
01:19
something and i just was like you know
01:20
what whatever i gotta go i was just not
01:21
in a good mood and i left
01:24
and there's a train track by the
01:27
nightclub
01:28
and i had to go take the bus but it was
01:29
like three in the morning
01:31
so there wasn't that many people out it
01:33
was a tuesday
01:35
um so there's not many people this
01:37
nightclub did like things for tourists
01:40
so i'm getting to the train track
01:43
and i see this person come there's like
01:46
um
01:48
i don't know what how how to say this
01:50
it's like a
01:51
like a metal barrier right that stops
01:53
you from
01:54
from crossing the tracks yep it's like
01:57
it's like to walk around
01:58
before you cross the tracks um so i i
02:01
hear the train coming kind of from far
02:03
away so i stop at that
02:04
at the barrier thing and i see on the
02:08
other side of the track
02:09
to my left um probably like what like uh
02:14
100 feet away or something like that a
02:17
person
02:18
walking up to the track that looked like
02:20
a homeless person because of
02:22
the their clothing it was like tattered
02:24
clothing and stuff like that
02:27
and it's it's dark though so i'm still
02:31
i'm just looking at them like whatever
02:32
you know like somebody else walking to
02:35
the other side of the stroke
02:36
they're gonna have to wait to cross two
02:37
so i'm just standing there
02:39
and the guy gets real close to the track
02:41
like he doesn't stop at the barrier he
02:43
he gets really close and he's drinking
02:46
um
02:47
a bottle of something he looks kind of
02:50
like
02:51
like a drunk or something i'm assuming
02:53
because he's drinking a bottle
02:54
um and he's like on the tracks
02:58
at this point and the train's coming and
03:01
i'm looking over at him thinking
03:03
this guy's going to get hit by the train
03:06
this guy's going to get run over by the
03:07
train i'm i'm thinking he's going to
03:10
move
03:10
whatever but he's kind of swaying back
03:12
and forth with the bottle
03:13
in his hand and
03:17
the train's coming it's coming and i
03:19
start yelling
03:20
to the guy hey man you're too close to
03:22
the train
03:23
get off the tracks man you're on the
03:24
tracks man hey get off the tracks i'm
03:26
yelling
03:27
uh it's the train's pulling up
03:32
i can now see like the lights of the
03:33
train
03:35
and uh
03:38
the lights are getting closer and closer
03:40
and closer trains getting louder louder
03:41
louder i'm screaming
03:42
i am screaming like a crazy person
03:45
because i also don't want to run out
03:47
and get hit by the train because i have
03:48
to run across and
03:50
and go to a like i'd probably get by the
03:54
train at this point
03:56
and he
03:59
the train gets close like so close so
04:01
close like it's about to
04:03
kill him about to run him over the thing
04:06
was it wasn't gonna
04:07
completely like run him over he was like
04:08
just so close to where he was gonna
04:10
smack him
04:10
right it was gonna it was gonna take it
04:12
was gonna take him take the train was
04:14
gonna take him with him
04:16
and he
04:20
he i don't know like he opened his arms
04:22
up like have you ever seen that jesus
04:23
statue in brazil yeah yeah
04:25
he opens his arm up like his arms up
04:27
like that and
04:29
right as that's happening the light hits
04:30
him so at this point like he
04:33
i could see everything and he had no
04:36
hair
04:36
but it was it was a person it looked
04:38
like a person
04:40
but i just saw it for like a glimpse but
04:41
when it was that glimpse it was like i
04:43
took everything in like i i just saw
04:45
everything
04:46
he opened up his arms and he threw the
04:49
bottle before he opened up his arms and
04:50
everything now i'm like
04:51
trying to piece everything back but he
04:53
threw the bottle opens up his arms
04:55
train's coming but it's like a second
04:57
and then he lays he throws himself on
04:59
the track
05:00
track the train goes by boom runs him
05:02
over
05:05
i'm thinking like at that point i lost
05:09
it
05:09
so yeah at that point i'm i'm screaming
05:11
like to the train i'm yelling at the
05:13
train like you guys ran somebody over
05:15
you ran probably in english too in
05:18
argentina
05:19
yeah so everyone speaks spanish and
05:21
they're hearing some american
05:22
yelling you guys are right somebody over
05:24
you ran somebody over and uh
05:27
the train stopped so the train starts
05:29
stopping
05:30
and it's it's slowing down and for a
05:32
train to slow down it takes a little bit
05:34
of time
05:34
so i start running to where the guy was
05:38
you know to work i don't know why i
05:40
thought like maybe he's still alive
05:41
maybe i can pull him out maybe uh
05:45
i can help this guy and i remember i had
05:48
a baseball cap on i
05:50
i look under the train and when i look
05:53
under the train
05:54
it was like a tiny space and i was
05:56
expecting you know to see uh
05:58
i i should have known what i was gonna
06:00
see right
06:02
right i i saw the shadow because it's
06:04
dark it's nighttime
06:06
i saw like a mangled right like a
06:08
mangled body
06:09
or a mangled person i freaked out i fell
06:12
back
06:13
right so i look and i fall back onto my
06:15
i'm like i fall back onto the floor
06:18
and i start kind of like crawling back
06:19
out of shock yeah at this point i'm
06:21
probably like in shock
06:23
and that i look away
06:27
because it just looked crazy to me i
06:29
look away
06:31
and i'm freaking out and i look back and
06:34
the guy
06:34
is no longer mangled uh whatever that
06:38
was under the train is now no longer
06:39
mangled
06:41
uh so this is why i never tell the story
06:43
because this is where it just didn't
06:45
make any sense
06:46
so the body that i just saw that was
06:49
mangled
06:50
that i i didn't make out you know like i
06:52
just saw a dark figure that was all
06:53
twisted
06:54
um it was no longer mangled it was there
06:58
was some
06:58
it was like crouching under the train
07:00
which made no sense because it wasn't
07:02
large enough to crouch under the train
07:04
like the space bets between the track
07:05
and the bottom of the train
07:07
was so small that there was no way a
07:11
human being could
07:12
could fit and do that uh first of all he
07:16
should have been dead
07:17
and it was a glint it was a second it
07:18
was like i saw
07:20
whatever that was now kind of like crowd
07:23
like something crouched on the train and
07:24
then it
07:25
ran out the other side what so
07:28
yeah at that moment i'm thinking dude
07:31
you just lost your mind
07:33
you literally just lost your like you
07:36
you've lost it
07:36
did you sleep see what happened like
07:38
what what it was that ran
07:40
out of the side like when it came out
07:42
the side
07:44
when it came out of the side it was
07:45
crazy it was like i just saw like
07:47
like like the feet running away like
07:49
from the other side
07:50
i saw it like scurry yeah i saw it
07:52
scurry out from under the train but it
07:54
was
07:55
like i said when i went to look under
07:56
the train it was dark so i
07:58
i saw the body or whatever and then i
08:00
fell back from shock thinking
08:02
why did i look at this you know i
08:03
freaked out like dude it's disgusting
08:05
and when i look back it was like it was
08:08
like staring it was like something
08:10
staring back at me and then it ran out
08:11
from under the train and then
08:12
so i'm thinking was there anything
08:14
underneath the train at that point
08:16
afterwards no there's nothing on it no
08:18
there's nothing under the train now
08:19
so i'm thinking i'm thinking dude you
08:21
just your mind just snapped
08:23
something happened you've lost your mind
08:26
now you stopped this train and what and
08:29
i'm i'm i don't know
08:30
so much stuff was running through my
08:31
head and i was like losing it i was kind
08:33
of like freaking out
08:35
and there's still like nobody there it
08:36
was just a train
08:38
i had this road um
08:41
and as that's happening a cop comes off
08:45
the train
08:46
thinking like what is wrong with this
08:48
kid screaming to stop the train
08:50
and i'm like i had some of you guys
08:54
ransom i kept saying the same thing
08:55
there's a guy you guys ran a guy over
08:57
there's a guy under the train you guys
08:58
ran the guy over but the guy was gone
09:01
but i was still like in shock so i was
09:03
saying like you guys ran somebody over
09:05
and the cop goes to where i was pointing
09:08
and there's nothing there obviously
09:11
and i'm like no i swear there was
09:13
somebody
09:14
on somebody was there a second ago you
09:16
guys ran somebody over
09:18
and uh at that you know it was crazy
09:21
because at that moment
09:22
i'm saying that it's all dark there's
09:24
like a along the tracks it's all kind of
09:26
like uh
09:28
it's like it was i think now they fixed
09:29
it up but it used to just be dirt
09:32
right um it was like the tracks a bunch
09:35
of dirt and darkness
09:36
behind buildings it was like the train
09:38
ran through
09:40
between buildings and stuff so right but
09:42
it was open so a lot of homeless people
09:44
did sleep back there
09:46
so at that moment i'm yelling i'm
09:49
telling the cop like no like you guys
09:50
ran somebody over and the cops getting
09:52
angry
09:52
and the cops in argentina you really
09:54
don't want to
09:56
mess with the cops in argentina um so
09:59
he's getting kind of like
10:01
like frustrated with me and this
10:04
homeless guy comes out of like the
10:05
darkness
10:06
with a here they have this thing called
10:07
changito it's like a cart
10:09
that they collect uh they collect boxes
10:13
and recyclable stuff in the cart and the
10:15
guy's pulling the cart and he's going
10:17
the guy the homeless guy behind me is
10:19
like i had to realize piece this all
10:21
together after the situation
10:23
but the homeless guy behind me was
10:24
saying in spanish
10:26
like he was like praying and saying like
10:28
no yeah like
10:30
do i mean like somebody somebody was
10:32
under the train and she got nothing
10:34
though i'm saying like the kid's not
10:36
lying you know and i was like
10:37
he just kept walking he just kept going
10:38
he left the homeless guy but as that's
10:40
all happening i'm thinking i'm going to
10:41
go to jail
10:45
the train conductor gets off the train
10:47
and he comes
10:49
he comes like angrily walking towards me
10:51
and i'm thinking oh
10:52
he's going to say like why the hell did
10:54
you stop the train
10:56
and he goes where's the guy your kid
10:58

前置き


- 上の過去記事の動画は "The Undead Gaucho" が Jay に語ったもので、2020-12 に up された。

- この同じ体験を "The Undead Gaucho" がひとり語りとして 2018-09-12 に up した動画を見かけた。それが下。

- 彼はこの体験に強烈な衝撃を受け、世界観が一変しただけではなく、克服不能のトラウマとなっていると述べている。

- 下の動画は、より前の動画なので、記憶もより鮮明で上の過去記事の動画では語っていない重要な事柄(列車の乗務員も轢かれるシーンを目撃していた)も語っている。さらに酔っぱらいが轢かれる直前の状況もより詳しく語っている。

- 上の過去記事の説明では

・D の後ろから機関車が接近。W は D が轢かれる現場を目撃し、大声で叫んで列車を止めた。

 と述べたが、下の動画の身振り手振りのシーン(4:20)からすると、酔っぱらいは機関車に向かって立っていたようだ。つまり、酔っぱらいの正面から機関車が接近した。

- 今回、下の動画の証言を聞いて、彼が強烈な衝撃を受けたこの事件の謎が解けた。UFO は出てこないが、UFO の謎を解くのに この事件はとても参考になる筈。

手抜き


- 以下、"The Undead Gaucho"の証言。

- 真夜中の 3:00 頃、線路の付近を歩いていたら、ボロボロの身なりの酒瓶を手にした酔っぱらいが線路を歩いていた。そこへ列車が近づいていた。

- 私は大声を挙げて酔っぱらいに逃げろと叫び続けた。酔っぱらいと目が合った。酔っぱらいは髪も眉もなく異様な風体だった。酔っぱらいはそのまま立っていた。

- 列車と衝突する寸前で酔っぱらいは手を挙げて線路に倒れ込んだ。その直後、酔っぱらいの上を機関車が通った。

- 私は大声で叫び続け、列車はやがて停止した。

- 線路と列車の底面の隙間は狭く人間が無傷で収まるスペースは無かった。なので列車の下を覗くと酔っぱらいは肉片となっていた。ショックを受けそのシーンから目を逸した。再び列車の下に目を向けると、先の酔っぱらいが完全に元に復元した姿で這い出てきた。列車の下には肉片も何も残っていなかった。

00:03
this story makes me uncomfortable I made
00:12
a video asking you guys to share your
00:15
paranormal experiences with me so I knew
00:18
that sooner or later I would have to
00:21
share this with you guys
00:24
this experience is actually a big
00:26
driving force behind why I believe the
00:29
paranormal is normal now this happened a
00:33
few years ago here in 1 Osiris I was
00:36
leaving at nightclub it was about 3 a.m.
00:38
I was alone I had to walk to the bus
00:42
stop from the nightclub now I'm no saint
00:45
but this night I had maybe two bottles
00:50
of beer small bottles of beer I just
00:53
wasn't feeling the vibe and I wanted to
00:55
go home so between the nightclub and the
00:58
bus stop there is a train track when I
01:02
get to the train track
01:04
I hear the railroad crossing bells start
01:07
to ring so I stop and I wait
01:12
[Music]
01:20
directly across from me on the other
01:23
side of the tracks there is a metal sort
01:28
of railing that you weight at
01:37
and I see this person walking up to the
01:44
railing right it looked like a homeless
01:50
person or somebody that was living you
01:54
know on the streets the person also had
01:57
what looked like to be a bottle in his
01:58
hand and he was drinking the bottles so
02:01
I assumed it was just a homeless person
02:04
or you know a drunk or somebody that was
02:08
in a bad situation living on the streets
02:09
it was late there was nobody around just
02:12
me and this person I was looking over at
02:14
the person because they were kind of
02:16
looking at me while they were drinking
02:17
from their bottle but because it was
02:19
nighttime and they were a bit further I
02:21
couldn't make out their facial features
02:24
[Music]
02:28
I could tell that they didn't have any
02:30
hair on their head they were bald I
02:34
think maybe they didn't have shoes on
02:37
like I said guys this happened a few
02:39
years ago so forgive me if I struggle
02:42
with some of the details so this person
02:44
sort of gets really close to the tracks
02:48
and starts chugging the bottle right
02:50
chugging it back and I'm looking at them
02:52
going like what is this person doing
02:54
they're too close to the tracks the
02:57
train is gonna come right now the train
02:59
is coming right now and they look you
03:01
know like I thought it was somebody that
03:03
was wasted and they were gonna kill
03:05
themselves on the track without noticing
03:07
because they were so drunk so I start to
03:09
scream at the person on the track to get
03:13
off the track because the train is
03:14
coming
03:14
looking over at them and I'm screaming
03:16
at him telling him to move back away
03:18
from the track he's too close to the
03:20
track now I think he threw the bottle
03:25
and this is something that I clearly
03:27
remember right cuz this is where I got
03:29
really crazy so the train is getting
03:32
closer and closer and this person isn't
03:36
moving but still yelling at them telling
03:40
them to back up from the tracks the
03:42
train is coming it's getting closer and
03:44
closer louder and louder I'm screaming
03:46
the person is not moving the light from
03:49
the Train is shining and it gets closer
03:52
and closer the person opens up their
03:55
arms like this almost like you know that
03:58
big Jesus statue in Brazil sort of like
04:00
Jesus on the cross kind of thing you
04:02
know like arms wide open like if you're
04:04
gonna give somebody a bear hug turns
04:07
over makes eye contact with me and falls
04:12
forward falls forward like this right
04:16
onto the track I saw their head touched
04:21
the track on one side and their legs
04:23
touch the track on the other side right
04:25
and the train just went and passed right
04:28
over
04:32
while this guy did this he made eye
04:35
contact with me and the train like hit
04:36
him train light lit him up I realized he
04:42
had no hair on his face he was bald and
04:44
he didn't seem like he didn't even have
04:45
eyebrows I'm serious
04:48
like no hair I start freaking out at
04:50
this point I've completely lost it right
04:53
I'm yelling at the train that they ran
04:57
somebody over I'm still alone I'm
05:00
yelling and I'm yelling and the train
05:02
stops and I'm thinking oh my god I just
05:08
saw somebody kill themselves like what
05:11
is going on the first thing I did when
05:15
the train stopped was go directly to
05:18
where I saw him throw himself under the
05:21
train and I look under the train now
05:24
when I look under the Train obviously I
05:28
see what anyone would see is a mangled
05:32
what looked like a mangled kind of body
05:35
right somebody twisted like a pretzel it
05:37
was dark so I I didn't really see much
05:40
but just that image made me fall back I
05:44
looked away when I looked back
05:48
the person was in a crouched I don't
05:52
even know how to say this how to explain
05:54
this this is why I don't like telling
05:55
this story it was like they were in a
05:58
crouched position but it didn't make
06:00
sense logically because the space was
06:03
too small but it was like they were
06:06
mangled and then I looked back and they
06:08
were like in a crouched position and it
06:10
was like he was looking back at me for a
06:14
second and then he ran and at this point
06:16
I'm just overloaded with too much
06:19
there's too much going on here there's
06:20
I'm freaking out completely my brain
06:24
can't even process what's happening this
06:26
cop I think he got off the train he
06:29
walks up to me and he says why did you
06:32
yell what's going on and I said they ran
06:34
somebody over they ran somebody over
06:36
that's all I could say cuz I was like in
06:38
shock I point to where the person was
06:43
where I I still couldn't believe what I
06:45
saw so I thought he was still there I
06:47
thought I was in shock cop looks and
06:50
there's nothing there obviously because
06:52
whatever that was was now gone I'm like
06:56
no no they ran somebody over he was
06:59
right there it was a dead guy there the
07:01
cop is looking at me like you're crazy
07:03
like he asked me like are you on drugs
07:06
or something I'm like no like totally no
07:09
I swear to you there was somebody there
07:12
I swear to you and while I'm saying that
07:15
out of the darkness comes a actual
07:19
homeless person and he's like freaking
07:23
out - he's the homeless person is
07:26
freaking out I think he was pushing like
07:28
a Carter he was pulling a cart or
07:30
something but I remember that he was
07:33
freaking out because he was saying the
07:36
kid is in line there was something there
07:39
and he ran out the other side the kid
07:42
isn't lying he's not lying
07:43
I get so uncomfortable whenever I tell
07:45
this story I start to get like cold I
07:49
just kidding
07:50
it's just weird I start feeling really
07:52
weird at this point there's like traffic
07:56
behind me you know the cops here the
08:00
homeless guys here freaking out praying
08:01
here's where I just got this sense of
08:07
fear like fear like terror the train
08:11
conductor gets off the train walks up to
08:14
us me and the cop super mad and says
08:19
where is the guy that I ran over where
08:23
is the guy that threw himself on the
08:25
track and the cops like there is no guy
08:29
and I'm like there's a guy there's there
08:32
was a guy there and the train conductor
08:35
looks at me and says he's not lying to
08:39
the cop I saw the guy we ran over a guy
08:46
just telling you guys this story is like
08:50
bringing back those emotions that I was
08:54
feeling that night the conductor got
08:56
back on the train the cop I think was on
08:58
the train so he gets back on the train
09:00
and the train leaves the traffic goes by
09:04
and then I'm alone and there was just
09:08
something about this experience and that
09:11
fear that I felt after that and that
09:15
confusion I was so confused it was like
09:18
my mind couldn't grasp it I couldn't
09:21
explain it so for the next week the next
09:24
month I I was just trying to figure out
09:29
what that was I was trying to figure out
09:32
what it meant right I'll just be 100%
09:35
honest with you guys that was very very
09:38
frightening only because I felt in my
09:41
gut like that was supposed to happen to
09:46
me like it was a warning or a sign or
09:49
something I couldn't really tell anybody
09:51
either
09:52
because the story gets so crazy at
09:56
certain points like when he's mangled
09:59
and then he's unmingled I was afraid to
10:01
actually talk about it with people for
10:03
some reason I've always been into the
10:05
paranormal and strange and the Fringe
10:08
ever since I was young I've been looking
10:11
into those kinds of things and I can't
10:13
really ignore it I can't it's something
10:17
that it happens naturally but there has
10:20
been moments in my life where I just
10:22
forced myself to ignore it I forced
10:25
myself not to look into it because
10:27
sometimes the rabbit hole gets so big
10:30
then you end up more lost than when you
10:32
first started researching or when you
10:34
first started it seems like the
10:36
phenomenon sort of does that like it has
10:40
some sort of intelligence
10:42
that helps keep it secret this
10:46
experience really reminded me that you
10:52
know the paranormal is normal

この謎を解く

前置き


- 去年末からの過去記事が放置したままだった。年度が変わる前に片付けておく。


この謎を解く


- まず、彼の証言を再引用する。


- 以下、"The Undead Gaucho"の証言。

- 真夜中の 3:00 頃、線路の付近を歩いていたら、ボロボロの身なりの酒瓶を手にした酔っぱらいが線路を歩いていた。そこへ列車が近づいていた。

- 私は大声を挙げて酔っぱらいに逃げろと叫び続けた。酔っぱらいと目が合った。酔っぱらいは髪も眉もなく異様な風体だった。酔っぱらいはそのまま立っていた。

- 列車と衝突する寸前で酔っぱらいは手を挙げて線路に倒れ込んだ。その直後、酔っぱらいの上を機関車が通った。

- 私は大声で叫び続け、列車はやがて停止した。

- 線路と列車の底面の隙間は狭く人間が無傷で収まるスペースは無かった。なので列車の下を覗くと酔っぱらいは肉片となっていた。ショックを受けそのシーンから目を逸した。再び列車の下に目を向けると、先の酔っぱらいが完全に元に復元した姿で這い出てきた。列車の下には肉片も何も残っていなかった。



- この謎は簡単に解ける。彼のこの

  ・(a) 線路と列車の底面の隙間は狭く人間が無傷で収まるスペースは無かった。
  ・(b) 列車の下を覗くと酔っぱらいは肉片となっていた。

 という証言の a は 3:00 という夜中の暗闇による錯覚で、その思い込みが続く b の錯覚を生み出した。その証拠に

  ・先の酔っぱらいが完全に元に復元した姿で這い出てきた。

 と彼自身が直後に述べている。つまり「完全に元に復元した姿で這い出て」くるだけのスペースが線路と列車の間にあったことを、自らが目撃したと証言している (it was like crouching under the train) 。


it was no longer mangled it was there
06:58
was some
06:58
it was like crouching under the train
07:00
which made no sense because it wasn't
07:02
large enough to crouch under the train
07:04
like the space bets between the track
07:05
and the bottom of the train



- この酔っぱらいは、線路と列車の底面の隙間が十分にあり、安全なことを知っていたから酔狂でこのような行動をおこなった。

- "The Undead Gaucho" は「線路と列車の底面の隙間は狭く人間が無傷で収まるスペースは無かった」という思い込みから


彼はこの体験に強烈な衝撃を受け、世界観が一変しただけではなく、克服不能のトラウマ


 を抱えることになった。


- (彼はこの謎を大事に抱えているようだから)私は余計なお節介はしないが、「いいかげん、誰か彼にタネ明かししてやれよ」とは思う。


参考


- 以下、ざっと調べた結果。

- 下の資料の写真から人体の厚みは日本人の男の場合で約 26cm。アルゼンチン人もさして変わらない筈。

H: 455 dots, W : 70 dots

ref:   https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jsmbe1963/40/4/40_4_239/_pdf


- 鉄道のレールの高さは低めに見積もって 13cmほど。

- 列車の車輪の直径は 33~36インチ。33インチだとしてもレールの頂点から車軸中心までは 33 * 2.54 / 2 ≒ 84/2 = 42 cm もある。

- 線路のバラスト(砂利)の最上部から車輪中央までは 42 + 13 = 55cm ある。人体の厚み 26cm を差し引くと 29cm となる。車軸の太さや列車の底面の付属物による突出部分の寸法を考慮しても大人が余裕で入り込むだけの隙間がある筈。

- これは推測だが、列車の底面が砂利や障害物などがハネて傷ついた場合の目視チェックは点検員が列車の下に潜り込んで行うのではないか。もっと言えば、駅で飛び込み自殺した人間の肉片を拾い集める場合も、停車した列車の下に駅員が潜り込んで行うのではないか。検索してまでそれを確認する気分にはなれないが。

- 私は鉄道には全く興味がなく、その知識もない。なので、将来、鉄道に詳しい人がこの記事を目にして、間違いを見つけたらコメント欄でご教示をねがいます。
