Affected by the epidemic, the railway Ejina Station in Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia, has ceased its passenger transportation business, but railway employees still stick to their posts, serve the stranded personnel, guarantee the delivery of materials, and guard Ejina.
At present, this small border town is under unprecedented pressure. There is no convenient transportation here, and it is more difficult for the epidemic aid and material transportation to be carried out.
Ejina Banner has an area of 114,600 square kilometers and a population of 33,000. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, nearly 10,000 tourists have been stranded here.
The banner is located at the westernmost point of Inner Mongolia, 653 kilometers away from the location of the Alxa League, and 1062 kilometers away from Hohhot, the capital of the autonomous region.
It takes more than 7 hours to drive from Alxa Left Banner to Ejina Banner.
It is most appropriate to describe Ejina with a large area and sparse population. Among the three banners of the Alxa League, Ejin Banner has the most extensive area. Some herdsmen’s homes are several dozen kilometers away from the nearest one.
At present, this small border town is under unprecedented pressure. There is no convenient transportation here, and it is more difficult for the epidemic aid and material transportation to be carried out.
Give priority to coal for trapped tourist trains
Under the epidemic situation, Ejina Railway Station, which provides services for public travel, has attracted much attention.
"You can't fall under the seat, and every corner must be cleaned in place." "The windows are all open for ventilation."
Early in the morning, the stationmaster Jiang Guoliang repeatedly told Li Xinglong who was in charge of the killing work that day.
Ejina Station is an important hub of Linha Railway. There are 2 passenger trains and more than 20 freight trains passing every day.
The outbreak occurred during the peak season of passenger flow in Ejina. After the outbreak, the railway department immediately launched an emergency response plan, suspended passenger transportation services, and made every effort to refund and change passenger tickets.
At the same time, mobilize anti-epidemic materials, regularly eliminate station areas and the production and living areas of employees, and open windows for ventilation in all houses to create a safe and healthy environment.
Affected by the epidemic, three tourist trains were "trapped" in Ejina, and more than 100 staff members were stranded on the train.
In Ejina entering autumn, the sky has turned cooler, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.
In order to ensure the production and life of the people on board, Hu Chengli, the person in charge of epidemic prevention and control in Ejina station area, makes at least more than 200 calls a day, buys 3000 kilograms of coal for Nanyang vehicles, buys 4000 liters of diesel for Kunming vehicles, and purchases grain and oil for staff. Vegetables, medicines, and more than 100 sets of cotton-padded clothes, thermal underwear and other materials.
"Prioritize coal for tourist trains, and don't let the brothers freeze." "We must keep an eye on the train's route."
With the hoarse voice, instructions were issued one after another.
Since all the coal, oil, and water operations of the tourist trains need to be transferred to the I road 1 platform, this puts a lot of pressure on the Ejina station, which has a tight departure line.
Under the command of Hu Chengli, the arrival and departure lines in the station were arranged in a reasonable operation, the shunting operation plan was elaborately arranged, and the materials needed for the train were supplemented in time, and the logistical support work of the tourist train was done by every means.
Guarantee material supply
"Hello, Chief Hu, I am the new crown pneumonia prevention and control headquarters of Ejina Banner. At present, only 10 armed police officers and soldiers can be drawn out of the epidemic prevention materials that arrived this evening. Please think of a way to assist us in loading and unloading." Ejina Banner New Crown The Pneumonia Prevention and Control Work Headquarters called.
Putting down the phone, Hu Chengli immediately called the relevant persons in charge of the Linhe operation and maintenance section Ejina comprehensive workshop, station police station, and Ejina operation and maintenance section, and summoned railway employees to unload the epidemic prevention materials.
In order to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading without affecting the operation of other trains, the assembled 53 railway workers were on standby in advance.
The train arrived at the station and immediately went into "battle".
Hu Chengli personally participated in the unloading and monitored and controlled them on the spot. It lasted more than 6 hours. At 1 am, the loading and unloading of living materials worth more than 1 million yuan and more than 800 kilograms of epidemic prevention materials were completed and handed over to the local government.
"No problem, put another bag on my shoulder" "Master Ma, you can relax a bit, I can move the rest."
Different from the silence on the Gobi Desert, one platform in Ejina Railway Station is busy.
Ma Yongjun and his colleagues carried on their shoulders and carried hands, vying to move the supplies from the car to the platform one by one.

Arranges vehicles to enter the line and load and unload vehicles as soon as the goods are in place. The principle of "three priorities" is implemented to ensure the rapid arrival of materials for fast loading and unloading.

The General Party Branch of the Ejina Operation and Maintenance Department issued a mobilization order for the establishment of a "anti-epidemic commando".
"I sign up, let me go, I will go first!" A loud and powerful answer resounded over the desert, and then a commando team composed of 14 party members, leading 50 regiments and young soldiers to join the frontline of epidemic prevention and control in two ways position.
