Lanzhou, China, October 7 (Ma Zhankui, Huang Guibin) During the National Day holiday, Gansu Tianshui, Pingliang and other places were "infested" by heavy rainfall, and the official recently issued two orange warnings of meteorological risks of flash flood disasters. In order to ensure the safety and smoothness of the railway, the staff of the Lanzhou Railway Bureau often braved the rain to patrol and did not slacken off.
Dongcha Station is located in Tianshui, Gansu Province, is the only station built on the bridge of the Baolan high-speed railway line, due to the local rainfall, humid climate, every morning will be surrounded by mountain fog, so it is also known as "cloud station".

"Dongcha Station has 18mm of rainfall per hour, reaching the patrol alert, the impact range K1305+110-K1306+450, K1321+100-K1329+600, please arrange personnel to go out on patrol to ensure the smooth flow of railway transportation during the National Day." At 11:59 on the 3rd, Li Haijun, an engineer of the Flood Control Office of the Lanzhou High-speed Railway Infrastructure Section of the Lanzhou Railway Bureau, issued a flood control inspection notice to the Tianshui South Comprehensive Maintenance Workshop.
After receiving the notice to leave the tour, a party member commando team of 7 people quickly arrived. "Ye Zhou, pay attention to the inspection of the 1329 level three flood control point, and the others continue to patrol as planned." Wang Peng, the person in charge of the flood control patrol, wiped the rain from his face and took the lead in walking in the direction of the inspection point.
The mountain road was steep and muddy, and Wang Peng and his party of three carried shovels and struggled forward in the heavy rain, and the large raindrops of marbles crackled on their rainproof hats. As soon as I arrived at the flood control point, I saw a column of water rising from the drainage outlet near the line, and the water level in the canal was rising, and it was about to flood out of the canal.
"Not good, the drainage is not smooth, it is blocked by foreign objects." Before the words could be heard, Wang Peng did not hesitate to jump into the drainage canal and use a shovel to clean up the blockage at the mouth of the canal, and the other two team members saw this scene and quickly jumped into the drainage channel and began to clean up the debris in the canal.

The water in the drainage canal is turbulent, the muddy water is turbid, the branches, weeds, garbage and other debris are swirling in the muddy water, and some debris is accumulated at the bottom of the canal by silt. In order to open the drainage canal as soon as possible, the commandos did not think much about it, so they used their hands to dig out the debris blocked at the bottom of the canal, because the water in the canal was very deep, and the team members barely touched the debris under the water by pressing their faces against the water.
When they reached the culvert of the bridge in Qinling Ditch, the commandos found that the water under the bridge was serious, in order to ensure the safety of the roadbed, they once again threw themselves into battle, braving the rain to begin to urgently drain the water under the bridge, after more than an hour of pumping, until the water under the bridge was pumped out, everyone's hanging heart was put down.
"Timely check the status of the exit of the Xiaoyuanping Tunnel and the import equipment of the Maijishan Tunnel" "Focus on the place where the entrance of the Beacon Hill Tunnel has been cleared of the falling rocks before" The notification information in the flood control work group is one after another, and there is no time to rest, they climb out of the drainage channel breathlessly, pour out the mud in the rain boots, do not care about the muddy water on their faces, pick up the shovel and go to the next hidden danger, and start a new round of risk elimination.
At the Weihe Tunnel No. 2 shaft station, 57 meters underground of the Baolan high-speed railway, Zhang Weifeng, a young man on duty, was also busy nervously. Rainfall saturates the soil content of the tunnel, and if the underground shafts are not well drained, it will affect the safe operation of the train.
Zhang Weifeng inspected the status of power supply, drainage equipment, and emergency generators according to the process. When checking the water level of the water tank, although the water level did not exceed the standard value, considering the rainy weather, he still entered the water tank down the overhang ladder, dredged the infiltration port, and cleaned up the silt deposited at the bottom of the tank.
The space at the bottom of the shaft was closed, dark and damp, and Zhang Weifeng climbed more than 370 steps to reach the ground, and the sweat was already soaking his back. Too late to rest, he plunged headlong into the heavy rain, running towards the drainage of the culvert of the Tiannan Expressway opposite, and after making sure that there was no hidden danger, Zhang Weifeng, who was covered in muddy water, returned to the dormitory with confidence.
Dressed in a raincoat, a pair of rain boots and a shovel, the railway people stuck to their posts during the National Day and built a safety for the safety and stability of high-speed rail transportation. (End)
