This is probably the most complicated Spring Festival weather that Wuhan has experienced since 2008.
In the early morning of February 3, with the largest rain and snow in central China, orange warnings for road ice and yellow warnings for bliths were issued in various places. According to the information released by the railway department, due to the heavy snowfall and the assessment of the pavement, 282 trains of Wuhan Railway were suspended.
Outside the ticket hall, there are people still working, whether it is a conductor, a sanitation worker, or Liu Qiang (pseudonym), an electric section worker with more than 20 years of work experience.
On the night of minus 4, fine beads of sweat appeared on Liu Qiang's forehead. He was responsible for clearing snow from the railway turnouts, changing shifts every six hours on the railroad tracks. In order to prevent his underwear from being soaked with sweat and getting sick from the cold, he took off his wet autumn clothes and stuffed them into his purse, "not wearing autumn clothes for a day".
All of us are working. He said proudly.

In the early morning of February 3, with the first rain and snow in central China, the Wuhan Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning signal for road ice. Just one day later, on February 4, the Wuhan Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow warning signal for heavy snowfall, and most of Wuhan is expected to fall more than 6 millimeters.
At about 21 o'clock on the 4th, the snow had stopped, and the sound of shovels scraping across the ground kept sounding in the square of Hankou Railway Station. When the Jiupai News reporter arrived, the snow in the square in front of the station had been cleared into piles and transported by forklifts to the sewer mouth, where sanitation workers shoveled them to the sewers.
Hankou Railway Station is located in Jianghan District, Wuhan City, which is a special station under the jurisdiction of China Railway Wuhan Bureau Group and one of the three major railway stations in Wuhan.
That night, there were 11 windows open in the ticket hall of Hankou Railway Station, of which 10 were refund windows and 1 was barrier-free. The announcement looped over and over again: Passengers, please note that passengers on delayed trains should apply for a refund at the station on the ticket on the same day.
Outside the ticket hall, there is a thermos bucket, a water dispenser, buckets and bags of instant noodles, as well as hot water and ginger soup on the tables in the east and west volunteer booths.
In the past two days, an enthusiastic citizen came with a big red bag, which contained a pressure cooker filled with pumpkin and millet porridge, boiled eggs, instant noodles, and paper bowls. After distributing porridge and eggs, the citizen left without even leaving his name.

On the night of the 4th, outside the waiting hall and ticket hall of Hankou Station, there were still people cleaning the road.
Liu Qiang (pseudonym) is an employee of the Wuhan Electric Power Depot with more than 20 years of work experience and is responsible for the maintenance of railway turnouts on a daily basis. On this day, from 8:30 in the morning to 7:30 in the evening, he has been clearing snow on the railway. On this night of minus 4, he worked continuously for a day, and fine beads of sweat grew on his forehead.
On the evening of the 2nd, Liu Qiang and his colleagues received a notice to do a good job in preparing for maintenance. He remembered very well that at 4:20 a.m. on the 3rd, he was in the unit, and the freezing rain outside was falling. He is in charge of turnout sweeping.
The so-called turnout is a kind of line connection equipment that enables rolling stock to be transferred from one strand to another. Originally, the train traveled in a straight line, and the turn could be achieved by turning the turnout. However, if there is snow, when the switch turns, the snow will be clumped into ice, and the train will not be able to turn and move forward.
We now have to overhaul the road surface is not normal, ** if it is not good, go ** overhaul. Now there is too much snow, and sometimes the speed of cleaning can't keep up with the speed of snow, and you can't win. ”
Mr. Liu said he and his colleagues were responsible for cleaning more than 200 sets of turnouts, each of which required five or six people. Cleaning at each location takes 10 to 15 minutes. Freezing rain is harder to clean than snow, and snow is foamy and falls off with a shovel. However, the freezing rain formed an icy shape, which became hard and difficult to shovel, so it had to be burned with a spray gun.
All of us are working. He's proud of it.
On February 4, Hankou Railway Station issued an announcement on the suspension of some trains.
These days, they change shifts every six hours of work, and when they go back to the office to rest, they dry their wet clothes and socks. There was a bed in the office, but he couldn't sleep well because he "knew there was still a task to do." In order to prevent his underwear from being soaked with sweat and getting sick from the cold, he took off his wet autumn clothes and stuffed them into his bag, "I haven't worn autumn clothes for a day."
As of 8 p.m. on February 4, he had not even drunk a sip of hot water for the whole day. There was no time to drink, everyone was busy, and no one had time to deliver water, "It's good to be able to eat." ”
He remembers that in early 2008, he did the same overhaul. "That's how you work every year when it snows. I've been doing this for more than 20 years, and I'm used to it. That's how I've been through it anyway. ”
Chen Liang (pseudonym), a staff member of the Hankou Railway Station Regional Comprehensive Management Office in Jianghan District, said that it was snowing on the night of the 3rd, and in order to clear the walkway, they were divided into several groups, some sprinkled salt, some spread linen, and some shoveled snow.
The sanitation workers in the square are in charge of shoveling the snow, "and they basically have more than 12 hours of work on the 3rd and 4th. "There are also people who are responsible for evacuating** and maintaining order.
On the evening of the 3rd, he was supposed to leave work at 9 o'clock, but he ended up working overtime until 11 o'clock at night. Failing to catch the subway or get a taxi, he walked home and got his shoes wet. When I got home, it was about 12:30.
On the evening of February 4, sanitation workers cleared snow in the square in front of the Hankou railway station.

Zhu Feng, director of the regional comprehensive management office of the Hankou Railway Station in Jianghan District, said that they always pay attention to nearby hotels. On the day of the interview, they notified the price department and the market supervision bureau to strengthen the monitoring of surrounding prices. "You can't sit on the ground anymore. He said.
He found that in the past few days, except for the personal demands of passengers who refunded their tickets late, the previous order has been maintained in other aspects. They are especially concerned about those passengers who are inconvenient to travel, "They will have emotions when changing and refunding tickets, and we will do a good job of emotional comfort, and at the same time do a good job of resolving conflicts and try to provide corresponding services." ”
Zhu Feng told Jiupai News that all the cadres and workers of his unit were on duty 24 hours a day, 1 3 people were on duty, 1 3 people were on duty to go to work, and 1 3 people were on shift, "I was still dispatching at three or four o'clock in the morning yesterday, and I slept for two hours and got up in the morning to continue clearing the snow." As a result, the snow removal work was carried out in an orderly manner, "The heavy snow of the day before yesterday was all cleared yesterday morning. The heavy snow that fell last night has cleared all this morning."
Conductor Chen Lili (pseudonym) said with a smile that in order to maintain order and comfort passengers, colleagues "said more than 100,000 words in two days." ”
At present, Hankou Railway Station has been coordinating with Wuchang Railway Station to see if there are trains to the same destination, and if there is, inform the passengers and send them to the subway station.
Chen Lili said that some passengers have expressed their gratitude for this, which is especially precious to her. "As long as you can get them home, even if it's a little slower, even if it's late, they're willing. In fact, we can understand each other."
