Three generations of road farmers witnessed the changes in the era of the first railway of the New China railway

Cover reporter Zhao Zixuan

On July 1, 1952, the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway, the first railway of New China, opened to traffic, opening a new chapter in Southwest economic exchanges and prosperity.

With the railway, there are passers -by. Pathfielders write youth answers in the development of the railway. From youth to middle age, to retirement, many passers -by in one post are a lifetime. This is the love and persistence of a post. This is a strong sense of responsibility for a career.

Recently, the cover journalist came to the Railway Comprehensive Building of the Shibantan Railway Station in Xindu District, Chengdu. The office utensils in the building were all available. The office was spacious and bright. Here, the reporter saw many roads and listened to them to tell the story of road maintenance.

The first generation of passers -by Liu Nangui: slow manual work

Liu Nangui was born in 1943 and was in his 80s. He was the first generation of passers -by on the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway.

Liu Nangui was converted from the railway soldier to a road farmer. Liu Nangui's son Liu Shijun told reporters that when his father was working, he was artificially pounded. He carried 10 pounds of pounds every day to walk to the homework location.

At that time, the Steam locomotive was running on the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, with only about 30-40 kilometers per hour. The first generation of road farmers used picking and raking a little bit to ensure the safety of a railway.

Liu Shijun said that the railway labor site is a heavy physical work. Whether it is pounding or changing wooden pillows, it is artificially lifted and done manually. After a day of back pain, young is capital. Full of energy.

The second -generation roadbuer Liu Shijun: Witness the device is developing in the direction of mechanization

In 1993, Liu Nangui retired. Liu Shijun took the relay stick in his father's hands and returned to the place where his father had fought.

When Liu Shijun participated in the work, the train speed was only 4050 kilometers per hour. His most proud thing is that the 30 -year -old railway career has experienced the speed speed up and has not had a safety accident in his post.

The Chengdu -Chongqing Railway used to have trucks and passenger trains, so it had a great impact on the quality of the line. According to Liu Shijun, after 2000, the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway replaced the cement pillow on a large scale. The 12.5 -meter short rail was replaced with a 25 -meter long rail.

One of Liu Shijun's work is "pounding", relying on artificially pounding the line to allow the train to pass smoothly and safely. At that time, the two of them had 1 pair of picks, and a day had to make a minting operation on the stone crickets around 80 pillow woods. After a day, they had to smash more than 3,000. Now switch to the internal combustion Wicker pounding machine. Two people can mix 40-50 cement pillows in two hours.

Times are changing, railways are developing. In the 70 years since the founding of New China, the traction power of the Chengdu -Chongqing Line has been upgraded from the previous steam locomotive to internal combustion locomotive and electric locomotive; the maintenance and maintenance method has shifted from the previous slow -handed work to a fast and efficient mechanized model, reducing the labor intensity.

In the past, the measurement line used a wooden ruler, with large errors. A ruler, one person checks one person record, it takes 1-2 hours to check for 1 km line. Liu Shijun said: "Now the route is used to use the rail inspection instrument, it only takes about 20 minutes to complete the 1 km line inspection."

The third -generation passenger Xie Xin: the era of embracing mechanization operation

In 2015, Xie Xin, who graduated from university, came to the stone slab beach patrol area in Xindu District, Chengdu.

"Although I am not learning this major, I continue to learn from the old road workers in my post." The "Iron Third Generation" of this sun exudes the vitality of railways in the new era.

In the era of mechanization of railway, Xie Xin is more every day sitting in front of the office computer and knocking on the keyboard, reporting the work plan on the computer to analyze data. As long as the train runs on the railway, the on -site track data is automatically detected and generated. As long as the system software is turned on on the computer, you can see the geometric size of the rails after the decimal point.

One wall outside the work area is the railway

Today, the railway line is laid on heavy rails, the main trunk line has become a seamless line, and scientific road maintenance has entered a new era of mechanization. On the railway line across the wall of the same worker area, the train ran fast. Xie Xin said: "Now use the cobra to mix and the rail detector, and the fine grinding machine. I listen to the old road workers. 500 personnel labor. "

Now, Xie Xin is no longer as "selling labor" as before. Mechanicals such as pounding vehicles and rail detectors have appeared one after another, and railway maintenance can use more and more professional mechanical forces.

"We are not like the front -line railway maintenance workers in the past. We have not experienced the pounds with our hands. We all use machinery." Xie Xin said, "Listening to the old road workers, their previous wages were low, the working environment was difficult, and now Our working environment is clean and easier than in the past, and the production efficiency has doubled. "Xie Xin said in a proud tone.
