[Explanation] Recently, the reporter came to the Hargai catenary inspection work area of ​​the Xining Power Supply Section of China Railway Qinghai-Tibet Group Corporation. The catenary workers are doing the maintenance of railway catenary equipment here.

  [Explanation] Guo Shengqiang and Luo Lulu are the only two female contact network workers in this work area. In November 2020, after systematic training, they were assigned to the Hargai contact network work area to be responsible for maintenance and maintenance together with the workers. The catenary equipment on the 118.2 km railway in the section ensures safe power supply.

  [Explanation] The Hargai catenary work area is located on the north side of Qinghai Lake at an altitude of 3200 meters. The area is very windy in spring, short in summer and autumn, and cold in winter.

Due to the unacceptable water and soil, the two little girls had a lot of pimples on their faces.

  When I first came to this work area, I felt that the environment was very different from what I imagined, because at the beginning I thought that the working environment was particularly difficult, but I didn’t expect it to be so desolate. Then I thought I could buy a cup of milk tea. After going shopping or something, I feel disappointed after I come, but I will stick to it, because I like this job very much. I have to make a small screw on the sky, even if it is slender, it will definitely play its role.

  [Explanation] What made the two girls even more unexpected is that even if they have learned relevant professional knowledge, they still can't get started in practice.

Luo Lulu told reporters that the masters can see where there is a problem at a glance. They are familiar with every screw on the rail, and they may not be able to see it even if they lie on the rail and observe.

  [Explanation] In order to get acquainted with the various operating links of the catenary workers as soon as possible, the two girls followed the masters in the work area every day to work on the front line, checking the electricity, hanging the grounding wire, climbing the contact net, and adjusting the hanging string... not to miss any details. .

  [Explanation] Luo Lulu said that during winter work, she was responsible for recording data. The temperature was close to minus 25 degrees. Although she was wearing a thick dress, wearing a winter helmet, mask, and gloves, she was still shivering.

The eyelashes can only barely open a gap due to the frost sticking together.

At that time, I wanted to try to write neatly, but when I came back, I still wrote crookedly.

  [Explanation] High-altitude maintenance equipment is an indispensable skill for all contact net workers, because they often climb to the high contact net to work, people vividly call them the railway "Spiderman".

This is an impossible job for two girls who are afraid of heights.

  My parents think that girls’ jobs should be like kindergarten teachers and accountants, but I feel that girls’ jobs shouldn’t be limited to these. I think I can do even more difficult and intensive work, and I can do better. Although working very hard in this harsh environment, my value has also been reflected. 

  [Explanation] In order to be able to climb the catenary pillar as soon as possible, the two girls ran to the training ground of the work area as soon as they were free. They climbed a little more each time, stayed for a while, and gradually adapted to them, no longer afraid of heights, and sometimes "hanging "Count the passing trains on it.

  [Commentary] Luo Lulu said that although they are not like conductors, they can directly contact passengers, but as long as they do their job well, they can ensure the normal operation of the train, and they are also protecting thousands of passengers.
