Since the summer
Central China generally suffers from heavy rainstorms
Many nearby trains were affected
Northern Heilongjiang and eastern Inner Mongolia
Some trains were also suspended due to heavy rain
But many friends may ask
Isn't the railway line very strong?
Aren't some railroad bridges very high?
Why are trains still out of service?
Here it is
Let me explain
Why trains in bad weather to want
Speed down, wait to be avoided, stop operation, turn back
Definitely for absolute safety!
01
Train drivers have poor vision in thunderstorms
The train travels very fast
At present, the operating speed of China's general speed trains
All reached more than 80 km
EMU trains are faster
In case of heavy rain
The driver's line of sight can be severely disturbed
Although trains also have wipers
But to ensure safety
When the driver's safety judgment range is too small
The train is about to slow down
Keep running at safe speed
If the amount of rain is too heavy
Temporary parking is possible
02
Heavy rains can easily cause flooding to damage the line
During the rainy season
There were many days of continuous rainfall
This results in saturation of soil moisture content
Water levels in areas such as rivers and culverts will also rise
At this time, heavy rain suddenly fell
Stagnant water is likely to flood the line quickly
Collapse of the subgrade bed and bridges
Even triggered a line near a mountain mass
Disasters such as landslides and mudslides have occurred
Public works inspectors and train drivers find hidden dangers
Immediate action will be taken
Drive at a reduced speed or even block the zone
03
Foreign body invasion limits affect driving safety
Bad weather
It is usually accompanied by strong winds, torrential rain and even lightning strikes
Trees next to the line
Colored steel tiles, plastic sheets and other objects on the surrounding buildings
Under the action of wild storms
It is easy to be blown onto the line
Affect the power supply of the catenary and the driving safety of the line
In this case
Trains require emergency stops
Wait for the foreign body to clear before continuing to run
There are many factors that affect the operation of the train
Especially during the summer season
It happens to be the season of flooding
The railway department puts the safety of passengers first
Weather conditions apply
Coordinate the organization of train operations
Please also understand the work of the railway sector
Best wishes to fellow travelers
Smooth sailing Safe travel
