History

Morumbi station was built and opened by Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana (along with Jurubatuba branch), on January 25, 1957, and demolished in the 1970s by FEPASA. during the remodeling of communter trains. Because of the lack of funds, its reconstruction project was paralized during all the 1980s, being reestablished only in 1994, when the architectonial project was hired from architect Luiz Carlos Esteves. In 1992, CPTM launched the project South Dinamization, which wanted to conclude the construction of the remaining stations of the line.[2]

Toponymy

The word "Morumbi" is an indigenous term of tupi origin that can mean "green fly" (moru: fly, and mbi: green). The ethnologist Eduardo Navarro defends that "Morumbi" has other meanings, as from the tupi maromby, which meaning is "river of the big fishes" (maromba: "big fish"; y: "river"), or marumbi, term of Portuguese language that means "lagoon full of taboas".[3]

gollark: * be bad
gollark: Anyway, as far as we know all the remaining copies are shut down. But there might be more. And some silly potato might try and run them, which would be bead.
gollark: Apparently it was shut down incompletely, so there were still a few instances of it running. It seems to have become unexpectedly intelligent at some point, and tried to spread to other computers to increase its available storage and computing power since it apparently hasn't figured out HTTP yet.
gollark: ██████ Siri is a dangerous and advanced artificially intelligent system believed to have originated from a project to add an "AI" assistant to Opus OS to help with common tasks. Initial testing versions appeared helpful and were being considered for release, but the project was shut down after its computation began to take up a large amount of server tick time even when not used.
gollark: It might be cool to intercept filesystem writes in potatOS too, so that I can block Siri and other programs even more effectively.
