Hefei, China, December 21 (Zhang Xuliang, Zhang Qiang) In the cold winter, the air at midnight in northern Anhui is filled with wet and cold fog. At the Fuyang North Marshalling Station of China Railway Shanghai Bureau Group Co., Ltd., a 56-car freight train entered on time. Here, it will be "physically examined" by the railway wagon "doctor", the cargo inspector, and then driven to the destination.
Fuyang North Marshalling Station is located in the central "throat" of the Beijing-Kowloon Corridor, connecting the 5 railway lines of Beijing-Kowloon, Qingfu, Luofu, Fuhuai and Fuliu, and is an important node of the second channel in the "one main and two wings" transportation strategy of the road network, and belongs to the national extra-large road network comprehensive marshalling station.
In this scene of railway tracks, stones and trains, cargo inspectors dressed in yellow and blue overalls and cross-body black kits shuttle between vehicles, quickly and nervously inspecting the key parts of the freight train to escort safe transportation.
"23162 close, 11 pick-ups." Du Jing, a cargo inspector of the C class of the Fuyang North Marshalling Station of China Railway Shanghai Bureau Group Co., Ltd., received the plan, rubbed his eyes, rinsed his face with cool water, equipped himself with tools, and went to perform the inspection of freight vehicles.

At present, there are 78 cargo inspectors like Du Jing at Fuyang North Marshalling Station, who inspect more than 4.2 million truck bodies every year.
In the railway industry, cargo inspectors are mainly responsible for the handover inspection of goods (vehicles) in the railway transportation process to ensure that customers' goods can be transported to all parts of the country in a timely and safe manner. "Before the train leaves, it is necessary to 'find the stubble' of the body and then 'repair', otherwise, taking the 'disease' on the road will cause a serious accident." Du Jing said that their tool kit weighs 8 pounds, including hammers, pliers, tape measures, tool knives, and galvanized iron wire reinforcing the doors.
In the busy station road, the whistle of the shunting machine "whining" rises and falls. The "heavily armed" Du Jing quickly swept through each section of the train body with a flashlight, his eyes followed synchronously, bending down or tiptoeing up from time to time to reach out and carefully "aim", touching the cold tin car gang with his hand from time to time. During the car inspection, Du Jing often sprained his ankle.
"The hook here is not fully slotted." After about a few minutes of walking, Du Jing said as he took the hammer from his kit, knocked it several times, and then skillfully tied a few "bows" to the car door with the wire. Du Jing said: "If the lock hook does not enter the groove, the train runs at high speed, which can easily cause the door to open, affecting the safety of the train operation." ”
From section 1 to section 56, Du Jing "patched up" more than 10 places on the train. At this point, he had walked almost 1 km. On a cold winter night, a layer of sweat oozed from Du Jing's forehead. Before it was too late to rest, the light of The Dujing flashlight circled from one side of the car to the other. A cargo inspection operation was completed and took nearly 40 minutes.
Since the beginning of winter, fuyang north marshalling station has made every effort to organize the transportation of electric coal supply, daily production materials, bulk steel, ore powder, etc. this winter and next spring, and strive to promote the volume of freight and help carbon reach the peak of carbon neutrality. On average per class, Dukin walks more than 20 kilometers. Walking around the truck with a length of more than 900 meters is already very tired, and it is necessary to seriously "find the stubble" and "repair" the symptoms.
"If you want to do a good job in cargo inspection, you must not only be flexible and agile, but also be able to endure hardships." After handling one train, Du Jing, who took a short break to start greeting the next train, said with some slight breath: "Recently, the traffic has been more than usual, and at night, we each have to check more than 11 trains, and we almost have to approach the half marathon. After work, I am often too tired to straighten my waist, my legs and feet are sore, and I feel particularly tired, but I think that under my own efforts, these trains full of goods are safely driven to all parts of the country, and a full sense of accomplishment arises. ”
"35202 times approaching, 4 pick-ups." Du Jing's plan for the 7th train of this night shift came from the system, and he did some stretching exercises, once again throwing himself into the "marathon" that had not yet ended. (End)
