22-year-old Fan Xilong is a young worker in the Xunyang Electricity Workshop of the Ankang Electricity Section of the National Railway Xi'an Bureau Group Company.
Her mother, Hu Jie, is a five-star conductor in the Nantong Motorcade of the Xi'an Passenger Transport Section.
Father Fan Qingchun is the shunting guide for Ankang East Station.
A family of three works on the railway together, but they always gather less and leave more.
The Xunyang signal work area where Fan Xilong is located is in charge of centralized maintenance and daily maintenance of 81.2KM signal equipment at Xunyang, Luhe, and Zaoyang stations. Among them, Lvhe station belongs to the intersection of Xiangyu and Xikang lines, and the concentration of passenger flow during the Spring Festival travel season As the height increases, the transportation tasks become more and more arduous, and the maintenance work becomes more important. Fan Xilong has been sticking to his job since the beginning of the Spring Festival travel.
During the Spring Festival travel season, the Hanzhong-Dongguan East train K768, which my mother was on duty, stopped at Xunyang Station for 2 minutes at 18:09 every day.
Whenever she is off duty, her mother, Hu Jie, will carefully select some fruits, and then make some of Fan Xilong's favorite croquettes, steamed buns, etc., and deliver them to Fan Xilong in just 2 minutes.
At 18:11, after a brief meeting on the platform, Fan Xilong trotted back to the work area with the dumplings sent by his mother.
Walkie-talkies, Microphones, signal bulbs, box keys... Upon returning to the work area, Fan Xilong and his workers began to nervously and orderly count the tools and materials for nighttime skylight work at Luhe Station.
According to Fan Xilong, the main task of their skylight today is to overhaul the downlink signal and replace the light bulb of the signal.
"These bulbs are 'serving' for more than one year and must be replaced in time. Once the lights are turned off, driving safety will be affected."
At 19:30, following the dispatch order from the skylight on the intercom, Fan Xilong put on his seat belt, put on his safety helmet, put his instrument on his back, and quickly climbed up to the 6-meter-high X entry signal machine with his hands and feet. Like a young worker who has just started work.
He first wiped the dust on the surface of the signal machine lens, then opened the back cover of the signal machine, and replaced, tested, dimmed and alarmed the red, green, red, yellow and other signal light bulbs one by one.
"No, the secondary side of the green light lighting unit II is poorly insulated from the ground." Fan Xilong's heart tightened.
In order to find the "cause", he tested the circuit step by step.
The "skylight" passed by, and he hung on the high ladder, trying to adjust his posture and direction, so that his body was closer to the signal mechanism, and his forehead was sweating.
"Found it." Fan Xilong shouted loudly. When the green light socket was detected, the insulation was still poor. At this time, he observed carefully, and saw that a screw inside the lamp socket was loose, contacting the signal mechanism and causing grounding.
"It turned out that the screw was loose." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After the screw was tightened, a beam of clear green light emitted from the signal, and they went to the next signal.
Due to the increase of passenger trains, the maintenance time of skylights has been shortened, which requires Fan Xilong and his colleagues to speed up and at the same time, to be more careful and meticulous in maintenance.
"Usually the skylight is 120 minutes, but now it is only 60 minutes, but we dare not be sloppy."
After work, Fan Xilong returned to the cafeteria to heat up the dumplings, held them in his hand and ate them.
When talking about why he chose the railway, Fan Xilong grinned and said that he grew up by the railway and had a natural affinity for the railway.
Fan Xilong said: "The biggest influence on me is my father. He is a very strict old railway worker and has a great influence on me. I also want to be like him to protect the safety of passengers."
During the Spring Festival travel season, Fan Xilong's family of three worked hard in different positions, and jointly guarded the way for passengers to go home.
