"Come on, I'll help you push, don't stop!" "There will be a train passing in a while, stay safe!" At about 9 o'clock on October 10, the crossing engineer of the Haitang Temple Line Workshop of the Zhengzhou Bridge Section was in the Zhengzhou Flour Mill crossing to divert traffic.
This crossing is the freight train sent to the Beijing-Guangzhou line by the downward field of Zhengzhou North Railway Station, the traffic flow is large, the pedestrian density is also large, the crossing workers on duty should not only do a good job of daily lookout and pick-up work, but also timely guide the crossing traffic, check the status of railway equipment and do a good job in the emergency protection of traffic accidents.
Shi Huimin, who has worked for more than 30 years, is an experienced "old railway" who has been transferred from a bridge worker to a crossing worker for more than 4 years. In addition to alarms and communication equipment, there are also operating procedures, job responsibilities, equipment diagrams, etc. posted on the four walls, and there are inspection record books and duty record books on the table.
"There are many people at the crossings in the city, and we have to make sure that we have a high level of concentration during work." Shi Huimin said. Although he has long practiced the ability to see and listen to all directions, and can respond quickly to all kinds of emergencies, he still has a habit of reading the operation process on the wall again before going to work every day, especially the emergency troubleshooting procedures, to ensure that these processes are deeply rooted in his mind.
"The freight train is approaching the crossing, please close the guardrail." "Understood!" At about 13 o'clock, after receiving the order, Shi Huimin quickly ran to the crossing, commanded the vehicles on both sides of the crossing to stop, pressed the electric guardrail door button after confirming that the crossing was barrier-free, closed the crossing, and raised the signal flag in his hand to confirm the safety of the crossing to the train. Two minutes later, a train full of goods "rumbled" by. When the train was gone, he quickly opened the guardrail door. In just 5 minutes, there were long queues on both sides of the crossing, and the horns of cars, the roar of engines and the shouts of pedestrians were intertwined and resounded.
Approaching the afternoon working time, the flow of vehicles and people at the railway crossing of the flour mill increased significantly, but under the command of Shi Huimin, cars and people passed through the crossing in an orderly manner. He also cleaned the pavement of the crossing and cleaned the rim groove......
"There are more vehicles coming and going during the morning and evening rush hours, and the workers at the main road crossing cannot be in a hurry, not only to deal with problems calmly, but also to respond to inquiries and horns from all sides. Only by having a better attitude and explaining a little more can we ensure that everyone crosses the 'good' crossing and the car crosses the 'excellent' crossing. Shi Huimin smiled and shared his work experience.
After a busy time, it was already about 14 o'clock, Shi Huimin took out the lunch he brought from home, simply heated it and ate it. The traffic flow at the crossing is large, and the crossing workers need to keep an eye on it, and eating and going to the toilet are all completed quickly under the premise of train intervals and ensuring that the traffic order at the crossing is in good order.
At 19:30, the successor workers arrived at their posts in advance, which has long been their habit, in order to smoothly hand over the work and explain a few more precautions.
The crossing workers have a dual responsibility, on the one hand, the safety of railway transportation, and on the other hand, the smooth flow of urban roads. From the moment you walk into the crossing, there is little time to spare. Looking at the endless traffic and pedestrians, Shi Huimin said proudly: "I think my work is particularly meaningful!" ”
