Chapter 234: Emergency braking

Stone Town Station assistant attendant Yuan Hongdong crookedly wore a big hat, yawned, carried a signal light in his hand from the operation room swayed out of the car to pick up the car, a door out of the operation room was blown by the cold wind outside, the body suddenly hit a spirit, sleepiness disappeared a lot, today's 2302 times is 3 stops, a pair of 189 express passenger trains to pass from the main line 2, he is used to a glance at the outbound signal, all red lights!

Standing on the platform, looking at the lights of the 2302 train in the distance, Yuan Hongdong covered his mouth and yawned a lot, then stood up straight, because the 2302 secondary stop will make the 189 express passenger trains coming from the opposite side, in order to ensure the safety of the passenger train, the 3 turnouts are facing the end line, which is commonly known as the "Jeopardy Line" by railway people! In this way, even if there is an accident on the 2302nd and does not stop, it will enter the Jeho Line, and the safety of the 189th express passenger train will not be threatened, which is clearly stipulated in the regulations.

Looking at the locomotive lights that were gradually approaching in the distance, Yuan Hongdong calculated in his heart that after a while, 2302 times would stop, and in another four or five minutes, 189 trains would pass, and after 189 passes, he would drive 2302 times, so that there would be ten or twenty minutes to finish the two trains, and then there would be nearly 1 hour without a car, and he could go back to the house and sleep well.

As soon as the 2302 train entered the station, when the main line entered the 3rd lane, far away, Yuan Hong saw the locomotive shake violently, he immediately widened his eyes, many years of driving experience told him that the speed of the 2302 train entering the station is at least 50 kilometers or more, and the regulations stipulate that when the train enters the turnout of the siding, the speed shall not exceed 30 kilometers, because when entering the siding line and turning through the turnout, the speed of the train is 30 kilometers and it is easy to throw off the road, which is extremely unsafe. The 2302 train shook so much, it was obviously overspeeding!

With the rapid approach of the train, Yuan Hongdong found that the 2302 train had no sense of deceleration at all, and the length of the arrival and departure line at Shicheng Station was limited, only more than 500 meters.

Yuan Hongdong's heart contracted suddenly, he had realized the danger, and his reaction was very fast. Immediately turned the hand signal light to a red light, and ran towards the 2302 train, shouting as he ran: "Stop, stop, stopβ€”"

Although Yuan Hongdong shook the red light violently, the brimmed hat ran away, and his voice was hoarse, the 2302 train did not react at all, and still rushed over at high speed......

In the rush of running, Yuan Hongdong stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground with a thud. The signal light in his hand fell more than ten meters away, and fell into pieces on the ground with a clatter, and his face also fell to the ground and bled out, but he didn't feel any pain at all. Immediately got up, ran forward with open hands or facing the locomotive, waving his hands as he ran, and shouting hoarsely to stop!

The "Boom ......" 2302 train simply ignored Yuan Hongdong. Whizzing past him, the moment he passed by, Yuan Hongdong saw the driver lying on the lookout window without raising his head. The first locomotive was like this, and the driver of the second locomotive was the same, in the huge roar of the train, Yuan Hongdong's hoarse howl of the stop was suddenly drowned, he collapsed on the platform, crawled on the ground and beat the platform with his hands, so anxious that tears came out, while beating the platform, while crying and scolding: "You fool, you are going to wake up quickly, if you don't wake up, your life will be gone!" ”

Xiao Yuanhang confirmed that the driver saw the red light and did not stop, hurriedly turned around and ran to the guard, in a hurry, he was tripped by the guarded car ladder, and the person suddenly fell on the edge of the other side of the passer, and almost did not fall off the car directly from the other side, thanks to his quick reaction, one hand suddenly grabbed the protective railing of the guard, which stabilized his body, and he didn't care about the pain, grabbed the guardrail of the guard, stood up, and rushed into the guard car in the shaking and bumps of the guard.

At this time, the locomotive of the train has entered the 3rd lane, and the length of the station line at Shicheng Station on Xiao Yuanhang Zhilu Road is limited, if you don't pull down the emergency brake valve to stop at this time, it will be too late!

It was pitch black in the car, Xiao Yuanhang couldn't remember where he put the hand signal when he went out just now, and ran to his position in three steps and two steps, his hand was drawn on the small desk, and there was no signal light! He thought that the signal light shook to the ground when the train shook just now, and he just wanted to squat down to find it, but suddenly thought, what kind of signal light is he looking for at this time, can't he just pull the emergency brake valve!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuanhang immediately stood up, touched the position where the emergency brake valve was located, and touched the air duct connected to the emergency brake valve.

Xiao Yuanhang touched the emergency brake valve at the same time, but also touched the lead seal on the valve, the handle of the emergency brake valve has a small round eye, a thin wire from the round eye through a small iron ring on the wall plate of the car together, the lead seal is in the middle of this small wire!

Xiao Yuanhang subconsciously stretched out to pull the lead seal, and pulled it off for two times, and then suddenly remembered that when using the emergency brake valve, there is no need to break the seal first, and the handle of the valve is directly pulled to the fully open position, and there is no pause or closure halfway......

For the emergency brake valve, some operating captains have never pulled the car once in their lives, Xiao Yuanhang has not been the operating commander for a long time, and it is normal to be stunned in a hurry. Thinking of this, he immediately grabbed the handle of the emergency brake valve and pulled it hard!

As soon as the emergency brake valve was opened, the high-pressure gas in the train's braking system screamed out of the air duct, and the high-speed train slammed down, and the speed suddenly slowed down. The brake shoes of more than 30 carriages suddenly hugged the high-speed wheels, and the sparks from the steel grinding flew everywhere, and the whole train was as magnificent as a fire dragon!

Even if Xiao Yuanhang pulled down the emergency brake valve, the weight of the whole train of 2300 tons, the huge gravitational acceleration was difficult to make the train stop immediately, and the train taxied for more than 200 meters before it stopped abruptly, Xiao Yuanhang's hands tightly pulled the emergency brake valve and did not dare to let go, in this short period of a few minutes, he felt like a century had passed, until the train completely stopped, Xiao Yuanhang's body seemed to collapse, and he slid softly to the ground!

After the station attendant in the operation room found that the train was abnormal, he hurriedly ran out of the operation room, looking at the huge sparks from the train wheels, and immediately he understood what was going on, he stood on the platform and shouted: "Yuan Hongdong, Yuan Hongdong, where are you?" ”
