On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the weather suddenly changed, and the train depot conveyed an important weather forecast notice, which was expected to have heavy snow in the eastern and southern parts of Shandong that night, and Zhuge Huaizhi immediately put into the work of snow removal preparations with all the cadres and employees of the station.

Sure enough, a heavy snowfall came as scheduled on the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and suddenly the world was white, and the goose feathers and snow were blowing one after another, and a thick layer was quickly piled up on the ground.

Zhuge Huaizhi and the whole station driving and shunting staff, swept the snow all night, the warm shoes on his feet were soaked, the socks were soaked in water and almost frozen, and his whole feet were numb from freezing, but Zhuge Huaizhi thought of ensuring the smooth flow of the train, and he didn't feel cold anymore.

After dawn, the snow stopped, Zhuge Huaizhi just went back to rest for less than two hours, and the passenger attendant Shan Qing called and asked Zhuge Huaizhi to hurry up to the passenger transport to see, Zhuge Huaizhi didn't know what was going on, so he quickly got up and put on his coat.

As soon as I entered the passenger room, I found that the ticket hall outside was overcrowded, and the ticket window had formed a long queue, it turned out that it snowed heavily last night, and by this morning, all highway passenger transport and aviation had stopped passing, only the railway was the only channel to travel, and today was the sixth day of the new year, and the number of ticket-buying passengers in line was several times the usual.

Zhuge Huaizhi immediately arranged to open an additional ticket window, strengthen the guidance of entering the station, the inspection of three products and the inspection of the waiting room, and soon, the stipulated ticket amount was sold out, and he could only urgently ask his superiors to sell no seat tickets, and they were soon sold out again.

In order to ensure the safety of passengers and organize as many passengers as possible to get on the train, Zhuge Huaizhi felt that the strength was still not enough, and urgently arranged all the off-duty personnel and shunting personnel on duty at the station to work overtime to help maintain order at the station and guide the flow of passengers.

By noon, when the first passenger train to Guangzhou arrived at the station, the platform was already full of more than 500 passengers, and the scene was very tense for a while.

After the train stopped, we found that the car was also very crowded, only to see passengers holding large bags and small bags, some leading children, desperately squeezing to the door, more than a dozen passenger workers at the station, plus three stationmasters and several station assistants and train depot supervisors Spring Festival station, there are only more than 20 people, the situation is very difficult to control!

Everyone kept shouting to the passengers, diverting the passenger flow in the entrance passage and the train door, and many people shouted hoarse!

The train drove away, and there were still more than 100 passengers who did not get on the train, and most of these passengers had tickets, because they felt that they could definitely go up anyway if they had tickets, while the passengers without tickets were desperately squeezed to the train to make up for the tickets, so that many passengers with tickets did not get on the train.

For a while, there were many complaints on the platform, saying everything, Zhuge Huaizhi was busy with the passenger transport staff to do the passenger guidance work, some helped to refund the ticket, some helped to change the ticket, and was very busy.

At this moment, a passenger was so anxious that he stomped his feet and found Zhuge Huaizhi, saying that her child could not be found, it turned out that the passenger took the child to Changsha, she took the ticket and failed to squeeze in the door, and the child was handed in from the window by relatives and friends who sent the station, which was anxious for the child's mother!

After Zhuge Huaizhi learned which carriage the child was on, he immediately called the conductor of the train and asked her to go to the No. 12 carriage to find the child, and soon the conductor replied, saying that the child was found in the 12th carriage and handed over to the station in front.

Zhuge Huaizhi expressed his gratitude to the conductor and told the child's mother that she could rest assured that at five o'clock in the afternoon, the station ahead found the nearest return train, handed the child over to the conductor and sent it back to Yimeng East Station safely, and the child's mother was very grateful.

In fact, this kind of thing often happens in Yimeng East Railway Station and in Yimeng Train Depot, there are all kinds of situations, what really wants to go does not get on the train, but gives people on the train; some luggage gets on the bus, but people do not go up; some people go up, but the luggage does not go up; some passengers get off the bus, but leave their luggage on the bus!

This kind of thing like looking for people and luggage is commonplace, only Yimeng East Station has to happen more than a dozen times a month, but the passenger transport personnel at each station can almost solve it for passengers, and they have received countless letters of praise, Zhuge Huaizhi They are used to it.

In this way, they were busy until the end of the Spring Festival, and the three stationmasters and passenger staff at the station were so tired that they were out of shape, and among the passenger staff, some children were sick, and some elderly people were hospitalized, and they still stuck to their posts during the festival and could not reunite with their families.

No one asks for leave and leaves, no one has complaints, all of them are in order to let passengers get on the train as soon as possible, can get on the train, every time I see these, Zhuge Huaizhi feels that every railway person for the majority of passengers to be able to travel smoothly, to ensure the reunion of tens of millions of families and hard work, this is the glory of the unparalleled!

But sometimes he sees that there are still many passengers because they can't buy tickets, when they can't get on the train, they are also very helpless, when our railways can also have high-speed railways like developed countries, fast and quasi-sufficient capacity!

Although the railway has gone through several major speeds, the speed has increased compared with before, but the maximum speed of passenger trains in some sections is 160 kilometers per hour, and the average operating speed of national railway passenger trains is only 61 kilometers per hour!

For example, it takes 44 hours to take a direct train to Chengdu at Yimeng East Station, and 11 hours to take a train to Beijing at Yimeng Station, and the equipment of passenger cars is very old and backward, there are not many new vehicles, and some trains do not even have air conditioning.

In the summer, the car is hot like an oven, the smell is unpleasant, and in the winter, the heating effect is not good, and it is frozen to death, the water in the train tea stove is not warm, and the sleeper car is also seriously lacking, which still cannot meet the growing needs of passengers for safe, fast and comfortable travel.

The facilities of the passenger station are not advanced enough, and there is almost no air conditioning and heating in the waiting room of the station below the third class, only two rows of electric fans, which are hung high on the roof of the waiting room, which does not play much role at all, and the passengers have great opinions.

The passenger staff of the station work here all the year round, and they have to keep cleaning in the waiting room, delivering water to passengers, and they are often hot and sweaty all over the body, Zhuge Huaizhi often thinks when we Yimeng Railway can also create a comfortable and clean modern riding environment for passengers?

In particular, seeing the news published on the People's Railway, the first fast passenger dedicated line Qinshen electrified railway was built and opened as early as 2002, and by the end of 2002, 41 electrified railway trunk lines had been built across the country.

It's 2005 now, there should be more electrified railways, Zhuge Huaizhi thinks when we can have our own electrified railways in Yimeng!

Zhuge Huaizhi remembered that He Rulan often laughed at him for thinking too much, but didn't he think that many things could be realized just by thinking about it?

For example, three or four years ago, He Rulan lamented that buying a car abroad was as casual as buying a bicycle, and in the blink of an eye, her brother's family bought a car, and many employees at Yimeng East Station also bought cars for the convenience of commuting.

Zhuge Huaizhi plans to consider buying a car this year, I heard that QQ3 can drive home for only 30,000 yuan, no, Zhuge Huaizhi has already registered in the driving school, and plans to use his spare time to learn a driver's license!
