At 7:50 a.m. on January 31, Zhang Hailing, the shunting captain of the fourth shift of Xiangyang Station, went to the workshop to participate in the roll call meeting and led the team to take over.

He checked the location of the on-site stock road, the anti-slip status of the vehicle, the anti-slip equipment and the dynamics of the shunting machine one by one, and made various preparations before the shift. The signal building station dispatched and transmitted today's first batch of shunting operation plans, and the staff of the team quickly put on their overalls and protective equipment, gloves, mouth horns, walkie-talkies and video recorders. Zhang Hailing conveyed the shunting operation plan item by item, carried out the plan transmission and personnel division of labor, "The No. 4 connector Luo Xiaole was responsible for the wrench, the No. 5 connector Liu Jianwei was responsible for the first hook, and inspected the cargo one, and the No. 6 tail connector Liu Yang was responsible for the second hook, and checked the 14 lanes..."

"The stock channel is wet and slippery, everyone pay attention to safety!" In the winter, there was a layer of frost on the rail surface, and the continuous rain and snow of the first two days made the ballast under the feet more slippery, he reminded everyone. At 8:20 a.m., Zhang Hailing boarded the shunting machine, conveyed the operation plan to the driver, and looked at the confirmation signal on the external platform of the locomotive. "No. 4 confirms that the turnout and the inlet road of the freight yard are opened, and the No. 6 is removed at the freight yard to prevent slippage, waiting for the continuous hanging." Shunting machines enter Freight Yard Line 1.

"Ten cars, five cars, three cars, deceleration, close to the hook ... Stop the car! Zhang Hailing was engrossed in measuring the distance, and the intercom driver slowed down and hung up.

"Shunting is most afraid of blind people riding blind horses, we must strictly follow the rules, standards, and procedures, strictly control key points, grasp and fully grasp in advance, in order to lead the team to complete the task safely." Zhang Hailing served as the shunting chief for 7 years, and was familiar with the effective length of the station line, the number of cars to be accommodated, the signal turnout, and the operation area. While completing his own homework, he also had to observe the mental state, weather conditions, and terrain changes of the shunting team personnel at all times, and from time to time instructed everyone to carefully confirm whether there were obstacles on both sides of the road, signal, and line before pushing the car.

At 11:50 a.m., the first batch of assignments was completed. The workshop has carefully arranged the canteen for festive meals, and the hot beef carrot hot pot and 4 dishes have been served. "To celebrate the safe and smooth passage of 2021, we will eat the reunion dinner of the team first, and then reunite with the family after work."

Thousands of households of new year goods, bulk materials to be transported to all directions through the railway group, day and night succession, the river is endless, the shift system makes many railway workers unable to live with their families Chinese New Year's Eve. Since the Spring Festival this year, the rain and snow weather has been repeated, and the shunting crew has been frozen into a frozen Spider-Man outdoor operation with rain and snow. In the morning of the shift break, Zhang Haiyou's wife was distressed by him and did not let him help with housework, so he bought new snowshoes for his daughter and rushed to the station to clear the snow to ensure smooth traffic.

During the meal, everyone ridiculed Luo Xiaole, "Hurry up and find a daughter-in-law, don't wait until the car is adjusted for two years to tan the skin and it is not easy to find." "Shunting operations can not cover the face, to prevent the impact of vision and hearing, the cold and heat will soon refine the skin peeling, Zhang Hailing said, "black is the most beautiful color of the shunting staff, tanned Xiaole is more manly charm." ”

This is a special and ordinary team group New Year dinner for railway people, and it takes ten minutes to eat and go to work between conversations and laughter. In the afternoon, there were 3 batches of shunting plans, they had to follow the shunting machine to the station operation, nearly 8 hours of outdoor operation, per capita to walk more than ten kilometers. Perennial walking and getting on and off the ballast paved with ballast, it is easy to hurt the waist and twist the foot, and the middle-aged Zhang Hailing lumbar spine is not good, and his wife let him go home from work to quickly do hot compresses.

Unwinding the train again and again, picking and sending it again and again, Zhang Hailing led the team to accurately and finely control the long dragon of steel, and made every effort to ensure the safety and smoothness of the railway artery.
