What's going on here?
Persistent rainfall and flooding threaten railway bridges
At 20 o'clock on July 1, a hurried telephone rang in the safety production dispatching and command center of Xiangtang Locomotive Depot of Nanchang Bureau Group Company, and a notice came from the other end of the phone that the train was on standby to press the beam.
The safety production dispatching command center immediately contacted the first workshop of Xiangtang application, the second workshop of Xiangtang application, and the Jiujiang application workshop, and selected 12 experienced and stable locomotive crews and 6 management personnel to take on the duty task of the beam pressing train.
At 22:34, 6 beam-pressing trains departed from Xiangtang, Jiujiang and other places in turn to De'an, Yangjialing and other stations to stand by to press the beam.
At 5:10 on July 2, the water level of the Nijia River approached the bottom of the No. 966 A bridge on the Beijing-Kowloon Railway and the No. 1 bridge on the southwest liaison line of Wujiu, reaching the warning water level and threatening the safety of the railway bridge.
Dong Qin, director of the Lushan Road and Bridge Workshop of the Jiujiang Bridge Section, immediately rushed to the scene to understand the situation and applied for heavy vehicle pressing beams according to the plan.

At 5:37 on July 2, Li Weiping and Li Junfeng of the Jiujiang Application Workshop of Xiangtang Locomotive Depot received a dispatch order to run 57712 trains to Lushan Station to perform the task of pressing the beam.
After more than an hour of slow travel, the train arrived in front of the bridge and stopped for reconfirmation. The driver, Li Weiping, held the brake handle in his hand and pulled the train to the bridge at a speed of no more than 10 kilometers per hour.
At around 6:40, the train slowly stopped on the Beijing-Kowloon Railway upward 966 A bridge.

At 8:08, drivers Li Jianjun, Huang Xihai and driver Xiao Ye also received a dispatch order to run 57,717 trains to perform the task of pressing the beam.
At 8:19, the train arrived at Lushan Station and stopped to prepare for entering the mission section.
At 8:32, Li Jianjun steered the train to drive smoothly in the direction of No. 1 Bridge under the Wujiu Southwest Liaison Line.
At around 8:40, Li Jianjun put down the brake, and the train stopped precisely at the designated position. "Today, let's be a 'Dinghai God Needle'!" The humor of the guide driver Xiao Ye broke the silence of the cab.
Working together to protect the railway bridge
After the two heavy-haul trains stopped, Dong Qin and his colleagues checked the bridge girders and the rising water level every 10 minutes, and reported to the command center in time.
With the blessing of the beam pressing train, the railway bridge stands still.
At 16:10, the water level of Nijia River dropped 0.7 meters from the bottom of the beam, and the bridge equipment was confirmed to be normal.
At 16:16, the beam pressing train went down the bridge in turn. The two drivers hold the handle tightly, strictly enforce the standard, and control the speed.
July 3 at 6:55 a.m
The water level dropped to 1.25 meters below the bridge cordon
