At 7 o'clock on July 26, Sun Xiao, a line maintenance worker in the Weihai Line Bridge Workshop of the Taowei Railway Engineering Section, and his co-workers began a new day's work. Sun Xiao is tall, thin, and 47 years old, he has been engaged in line maintenance work for 28 years, which is the most ordinary day in his more than 20 years.
On this day, the main work of Sun Xiao and his co-workers is to "start the road", which is to ensure the smooth and safe operation of the railway, which is a kind of line operation that uses special tools to lift the sleepers and rails and carry out tamping.
Internal combustion electric pickaxe, gauge ruler, road starter, big head pickaxe... These tools are the most powerful helpers for the maintenance workers, who rely on these "old guys" for their work. First use the starting machine to start the road, and then use the handheld internal combustion electric pickaxe to carry out the tamping operation, while the teammates cooperate with the big head pickaxe to backfill the pickaxe, which is the basic step of the starting work, and it is also their work process for so many years.
Two hands supported the ground outside the track, one leg knelt on the railroad track, the other leg stepped backwards on the ground, the body leaned forward to the eyes parallel to the rail, this is Sun Xiao's standard action of looking at the track changping when the maintenance workers started the road, how many times this action was done, Sun Xiao himself could not remember.
After the completion of the operation, Sun Xiao always carries the gauge ruler on the track, and stops from time to time to measure the gauge and level. In order to ensure the safety of driving, the gauge should not be 7 mm larger than the standard gauge, 4 mm smaller, this kind of operation standard that can not be error-free makes the workers play a twelve-point spirit.
As the temperature rises, the track begins to burn its feet, and the sound of cicadas on both sides of the road and the operation of internal combustion electric pickaxes fill everyone. In such a hot and noisy working environment, everyone did not have any complaints and slackness, and still worked meticulously. Their faces are full of bean-sized beads of sweat, which continue to flow downward into a "river of sweat", and the sweat is constantly dripping onto the rail or sleeper, and then evaporating because of the high temperature.
At noon, there was a brief cloudy day, and Song Zhonghua, deputy director of the Weihai Line Bridge Workshop of the Weihai Railway Engineering Section, looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "Once there is rain, everyone must be on standby in the unit to ensure the smooth completion of the railway flood prevention work at any time." ”
Song Zhonghua mentioned last year's rescue, at 13:00 on May 8, 2020, sporadic rain began to fall in the workshop tube of Weihai Line Bridge, and all the staff in the workshop were on standby and ready to carry out line bridge equipment inspections. At seven o'clock in the evening, the inspectors found that they were buried by silt, and immediately called the Weihai Line Bridge Workshop to explain the situation, and everyone immediately arrived at the scene to clean up the silt of the line in the lot and divert the water flow. After several hours of hard work, the line was finally dredged. After the line was dredged, Sun Xiao was arranged to guard it with another worker.
At 2 p.m., the cloud had long since disappeared, and the heat wave could be felt standing at the door, but the workers packed up their tools and set off against the sun.
It takes about 20 minutes from the unit to the construction site, most of which are rugged paths, and the "road" on the rails cannot even be called a road. Song Zhonghua told reporters: "Except for us, no one has come, and there are some places that are even more difficult to walk." "Here, the reporters have a hard time walking up, and the workers have to carry all the equipment on their shoulders.
During the break, everyone talked about the weather of the day, and said that the weather was already taking care of them, and they did not bring huoxiang zhengqi water when they went out. Song Yu, a field protector, said: "When the rail temperature can reach more than 50 ° C at high temperatures, the naked eye can see the heat wave formed above the rail, and heat stroke is commonplace." ”
Speaking of his happiest thing, Song Zhonghua smiled embarrassedly: "We originally only had a salary of more than 100 yuan, and now we have more than 4,000 wages, which makes me very happy, although I work in the field every day, I am very happy with my colleagues." ”
In fact, the work of the line maintenance workers is not limited to the starting road, in the process of starting the road, they will also replace some old parts, and after the end of the road, they will also grease the track and so on.
Since the completion of the Taowei Railway in 1995, there has not been a single accident in the entire section of the road, thanks to every worker who has paid silently for this railway, their work may not be known, but their efforts can ensure the safety of everyone who passes through this section of the railway, which is also the motivation for their work. Whenever the train passes safely, it is the greatest affirmation of their work. (Hi Weihai client intern reporter Liu Pengxue/Wen reporter Sun Dawei/photo)
