Chinanews.com, Jiujiang, August 27th, title: Night battle with lights to "detoxify and beautify" railway tracks

  Author Wang Han

  Under the night, a rush of footsteps awakened the "sleeping" mechanical vehicle. The lights blinked like stars, and the mechanical vehicle that received the last full-body inspection before leaving the vehicle "rushed" to the construction site.

  "The line has been blocked, and the work has begun!" At 22:50 on the 26th, following the order of the person in charge of the construction of the Yingtan Industrial Machinery Section of China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd., the mechanized line of the Qu-Jiu Railway was cleared at Pipahu Station. The Hukou Station section started.

  On the construction site, the roar of mechanical vehicles resounded across the night sky.

"Ensure the depth of the digging and pay attention to the safety of the work." Construction manager Chen Keshun reminded from time to time that the stone ballast at the bottom of the sleeper was sucked into the "belly" by the "big mouth" opened at the front of the "big arm" of the cleaning truck, and then passed through the vibrating screen. "Screening layer by layer", turning the dirt belt to accurately send gravel and dirt to the material transport truck.

  At the same time, the cleaned stone ballast was sent back to the track bed.

The cleaning truck moved forward slowly, followed by the tamping truck, stabilizer truck, and ballast truck working step by step.

  "We use high technology and do fine work." said Lan Yibin, director of the second workshop of the mechanical overhaul of the Yingtan Industrial Machinery Section. In the past, railway maintenance relied on the "three major pieces" of foreign picks, pick picks, and iron forks. The construction period of a "skylight" is only 100 meters. Now the high-precision and high-efficiency large-scale road maintenance machinery has replaced the heavy and single human tools in the past, and the efficiency and quality of line maintenance have been greatly improved.

  "The dust is big, the line of sight is poor, everyone pay attention to the car." The voice of a field protector appeared in the walkie-talkie, and the construction staff and operation machinery became fascinated by the smoke and dust.

The faces of the railway workers seemed to be covered with "black armor", they had no time to wipe off the smudges on their faces, and plunged into the "mist" again.

  "Pay attention to the amount of the road, take the road ruler and look at the level behind, how does it look..." Foreman Wu Shuibin stared at the tamping truck operation.

At the side of the ballast vehicle, the driver's chief Owendi has been watching the plowing ballast on the left side closely, reminding the operator of the main machine to pay attention to the electric pole of the contact net.

"Pick up all the stone ballast, clean up all the stone ballast on the sleepers, pay attention to safety..." Fu Yanzhong, the line workshop director, organized workers to clean up the stone ballast after the main machine.

  It is understood that in order to ensure the smooth progress of the mechanized cleaning construction of the Qu-Jiu Railway, the Yingtan Industrial Machinery Section is equipped with sufficient technical personnel for the poor construction conditions at night and the difficulty of safety control. Key links such as input and use, standardized operations of personnel, etc. are monitored and controlled throughout the entire process to ensure on-site safety and security.

  At 1:50 am on the 27th, after 180 minutes of "bath" and "massage", the roadbed once again glowed with "youthful vitality".

  The Qujiu Railway line is about 333 kilometers long, starting from Quzhou City in Zhejiang Province in the east and Jiujiang City in Jiangxi Province in the west.
