Every year in July and August, the railway will enter the summer transportation stage, and the concentrated passenger flow, high temperature weather, and frequent rainfall are the exclusive labels of summer transportation. Under the arduous working conditions, tens of millions of railway people guarded the way home for the people with perseverance and perseverance.
Cleaner: 3,000 kilograms of garbage are removed from the vehicle every day
"The train stops, the passengers wait to guide the passengers out of the station, and I work for a group of 'special passengers.'" At a station in Changchun, the reporter met The cleaner Shi Jinyu.
In the summer, the passenger flow increased sharply, and passenger trains, especially long-distance trains, generated a large number of paper towels, food packaging, plastic bottles and other garbage during the operation process, which is the "special passenger" in Shi Jinyu's mouth. When the train stops at a larger transit station, the garbage on the car will be centrally disposed of by the cleaners, while Shi Jinyu is mainly responsible for the garbage cleaning of a platform train at Changchun Station, and every day he is accompanied by a tricycle that removes garbage.
"There are many passengers on the platform, the tricycle transports garbage back and forth safely and conveniently, the car is not large, you can pull three or four bags of garbage at a time, and pull a few more times on the line." Shi Jinyu said as he put the garbage bag on the tricycle. Since the platform of Changchun Station is a general speed train platform, at least 1 bag of garbage will be handed over to each car of the stopping train. "The garbage in the dining car is heavier, generally about 20 kilograms, and the garbage in other compartments is about 10 kilograms." Shi Jinyu said that during the summer transportation period, a platform at Changchun Station received more than 30 trains every day and night, and the daily garbage carried out with the car reached 3,000 kilograms. According to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, before removing garbage, cleaners must thoroughly disinfect the garbage. Shi Jinyu and his colleagues were "fully armed" running between the garbage dumps and platforms, sweat soaking through their cheeks one mask after another...
Can washers: Working at temperatures of nearly 50 degrees Celsius is commonplace
Tank truck is one of the railway transportation models, mainly used to transport gasoline and diesel, chemical products and other key goods, the weather is hot, in the tank truck maintenance operation, the removal of residual liquid in the tank is essential. The sweltering, humid and dark working environment has long been accustomed to the can washers in the railway maintenance workshop.
"The equipment cannot clean the inside of the tank truck thoroughly, especially the tank truck carrying light oil, ethanol and other goods, and must be manually cleaned to ensure the safety and service life of the vehicle equipment and facilities to the greatest extent." Gu Jun, the leader of the tank washing team in the maintenance workshop, told reporters that his team has a total of 4 people, mainly responsible for the tank truck washing and breathing safety valve replacement, "the tank truck residue is basically flammable and volatile, anti-static clothing, gas masks, explosion-proof headlights, seat belts, oxygen detection and explosion detection instruments and other equipment totaling more than 5 kilograms is the standard equipment for our tank truck." ”
When everything was ready, Gu Jun and his colleagues set up in a group and began the tank truck cleaning operation. In summer, the outdoor temperature reaches 30 degrees Celsius, and the temperature inside the tank is nearly 50 degrees Celsius. Sweltering, damp, dark... It is difficult for the average person to stay for 1 minute, while the can washer has 20 minutes at a time.
"Our team cleans about 20 tank trucks a day, and each person has to prepare at least 3 sets of tooling for replacement." Gu Jun said.
Bridge worker: 10 kilometers of patrol roads every day is 6 years
A short period of heavy rain on August 22 brought the night temperature of the Changhun Intercity Rafa Mountain Tunnel close to zero degrees Celsius, which made Pan Weiling, a bridge inspection and maintenance worker in the Changchun high-speed rail infrastructure section who came to inspect, can't help but wrap her coat tightly.
Pan Weiling is an old bridge worker with more than 20 years of work experience, the Rafa Hill Tunnel he works for is more than 10 kilometers long, once the longest railway tunnel in the north, due to the short-term heavy rainfall on the day, according to the flood control requirements, Pan Weiling began to patrol the work.
The skylight time that night was from 22:30 to 4:00 a.m. the next day, and Pan Weiling had to walk 10 kilometers in 5 and a half hours, and she had to look up at the tunnel vault, with stumbling sleepers and ballasts under her feet, and transponders that would appear at intervals, even if she was experienced, Pan Weiling's every inspection was difficult.
The catenary that powers high-speed trains under the tunnel vaults can cause failures even if a drop of water falls. Pan Weiling did not dare to slacken off, and the slightest water stain on the top of the tunnel would make him stop and examine it carefully by the light of the flashlight.
"The safety of high-speed rail is no small matter, and no trace can be missed, especially during the critical period of flood control." When Pan Weiling spoke to reporters, she always looked up and stared at the tunnel vault.
At 1:00 a.m., the inspection journey has passed most of the way, Pan Weiling stopped to rest, and the work time that is completely opposite to the biological clock is easy to make people feel tired, while Pan Weiling is full of energy. "Since the opening of the Kitohun section, I have often walked like this, and after 6 years, I have roughly estimated that more than 10,000 kilometers should be there." The brightly lit tunnel stretched endlessly, and after a short rest, Pan Weiling began to patrol again...
