Summary "Vaihteissa: Veturinkuljettajan romaani" by Mikko Tervas is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the life of locomotive engineer Karhula and his new apprentice, Erkki Teräs, as they navigate their responsibilities and relationships within the railway system. The narrative explores themes of diligence, authority, and the struggles of young men finding their place in a demanding profession. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the seasoned engineer Karhula, who is meticulous in his work and carries a significant reputation among his peers. As he prepares his locomotive for departure, we see his strict routine and understand the weight of his responsibilities, especially after a previous accident that haunted him. Erkki, freshly out of technical training, is assigned to work with Karhula, setting up a dynamic filled with tension as he grapples with his own inexperience and the intimidating presence of his mentor. The opening portrays their contrasting attributes—Karhula’s grizzled experience and authority against Erkki's youthful eagerness and uncertainty—hinting at the challenges they will face together in the demanding world of rail transport.
