Minute30.com .- In the last few hours, the social networks of the Medellín Metro have become the scene of a search full of gratitude and national pride. It all started with a technical discovery in the system that ended up touching the most sensitive fibers of the city’s “railway heart”: a hidden message in a component of the Ayacucho Tram.
The protagonist of this story, of whom only his name and origin are known, is Camilo, a Colombian resident in Spain who decided to leave an indelible mark in the maintenance of the transportation system most loved by the people of Antioquia.
“Made by a Colombian”: The message that crossed the pond
During maintenance work on the tram catenary (the system of overhead cables that supplies electricity to trams), Metro operators found a note attached to a Ténsorex.
“Manufactured by a Colombian on the other side of the pond. Greetings and thanks: Camilo,” read the post-it stuck to the piece of engineering.

The Ténsorex is a critical device for system stability; It is responsible for maintaining constant tension in the catenary cables, compensating for temperature changes so that the service is not interrupted. Knowing that this vital piece was forged by Colombian hands in Europe has generated a wave of positive reactions.

This gesture underlines the pillars of Metro Culture, a model of civility that transcends borders. For the company, the fact that a compatriot, from a distance, puts his talent and technical knowledge so that the #RedMetro is “10/10”, is a testimony of the Colombian diaspora that shines for its work excellence.

Camilo’s message is not just a signature on a piece of metal; It is a reminder that thousands of Colombians remain connected to their roots through their work. From the mountain capital, the Metro sent a clear message: “Thank you, dear Camilo, for the talent and knowledge that you put into this tensorex. It makes us very proud to know that, from a distance, you contribute to our purpose of connecting dreams.”
Is it you, Camilo, or do you know who it is?
Metro Culture is built with details, and Camilo’s is, without a doubt, one that deserves to be told.
