Suddenly, a fault alarm sounded in the production command center of the workshop.
"At Qiaotou Station, the main filament of the 6281 signal machine is broken and an alarm is issued!" The monitoring system issued a nervous prompt.

Because it is winter, the 70-meter-high bridge is cold and windy.
After pulling over to avoid 2 speeding trains and walking quickly for 2 kilometers on the footpath cover with a width of less than half a meter on the edge of the bridge deck, the two came to the malfunctioning 6281 signal machine.
Protector He Shanmei, who is in charge of personal safety, kept looking at the direction of incoming vehicles at both ends of the bridge, and kept in touch with the station with a special railway mobile phone, grasped the passing time of the train, and organized two people to stand up and avoid in advance.
After the application for working time was approved, Feng Yasukawa immediately started to open the maintenance cover, measure the status of the circuit, and replace the main light bulb. In less than 5 minutes, the main filament of the signal machine returned to normal state.
When the workshop informed that the alarm was lifted, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The footsteps of the return journey are no longer in a hurry. Walking on the magnificent bridge, the magnificent Yellow River has become the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of the two.
"I was quite nervous just now when I was walking on the bridge in such a hurry and the wind was so strong," said He Shanmei.
"Then it's all resolved, no trouble, and a light body. After so many days, we can finally go home and rest today. Let's take Little Mango to see the swans. I promised her before the Spring Festival." Feng Jingchuan smiled. speak.
