[Explanation] Using simple tools, shouted neat and uniform slogans... On July 13, 56 "Hercules" came to the railroad tracks and spent 3 hours replacing 52 cement pillows, of which a single one weighed 600 catties .
Through maintenance, the smooth operation of trains on the Jingha Line can be effectively guaranteed.
These 56 "Hercules" are the staff of the Changchun Public Works Section of China Railway Shenyang Bureau Group Co., Ltd. They are responsible for the daily inspection and maintenance of the more than 40 kilometers line from Datun Station to Changchun North Station on the Beijing-Harbin Railway Line.
Replacing cement pillows is the most basic and one of the most tiring jobs.
The reporter learned that at present, the replacement of cement pillows still adopts the comprehensive method of "manual + machinery", which is more flexible and efficient than machinery.

The most difficult point is the "going out" and "entering the door" of the sleepers, these two are the key points.
Because each sleeper is about 300 kilograms, it is said that it is all dragged by manpower without mechanical assistance.
But at present, combined with the skylight of the power outage on the Beijing-Harbin line, the main reason is the work efficiency. We currently use the manual replacement method, which is more efficient.
[Explanation] The reporter saw that replacing a cement pillow requires multiple people to work together.
Move the old cement pillow out first, and then move the new cement pillow in.
It was cloudy and rainy that day, and the heat and humidity were unbearable. Working in such weather conditions was very exhausting.
When moving the cement pillow, the only tools they used were two crowbars and two strings.
Simple but effective.
The crowd shouted slogans, moved cement pillows one by one into the pit, and padded up the rails.
Yao Zemin said they had to replace more than 800 cement pillows within 24 days.

The old type II pillows on the line are uniformly replaced with new type II pillows. After the replacement, the equipment of the line foundation is improved, so that there is no need to replace them in the short term.
The planned replacement is about 800 sleepers, with a total length of about 1.2 kilometers.
[Explanation] On that day, the rain did not stop, and it fell on the brim of the workers' hats mixed with sweat and fell onto the rails.
This group of "Hercules" grabbed the "skylight" of the power outage to complete the operation to ensure the safe and smooth operation of the train.
