The weather is cold and warm, and the Spring Festival is in progress. On the 9th, the Harbin Railway Station was crowded, and Mr. Li and his son, tourists, ended their trip to the "Ice City" and prepared to return to their hometown in Hebei for the New Year. Mr. Li said that he had a lot of fun, and after more than a week of coming out, the child was homesick.

"I haven't been home for several years, and I didn't recognize it as 'Ha Station' when I got off the train. Ms. Chang, who works in Beijing, lamented that the station's service desk, signs, lockers, etc. are all available, which is very convenient, "I also saw that there will be performances in the waiting hall on the Internet, and I hope to catch up when I go back." β
According to the preliminary estimate of China Railway Harbin Bureau Group, Harbin Station is expected to send 4.8 million passengers during the Spring Festival this year, a year-on-year increase of 569%γIn order to ensure the safety of passengers and optimize the travel experience, Harbin Railway insists on both service and technology, so that passengers can "gallop" in the ice and snow warmly and efficiently.
In the past, snow was cleared manually with snow removal rods and rubber hammers, but with the 'Ice Melting Snow Removal 2.'0 equipment' has been a lot more convenient in the future. Ji Liyang, assistant engineer of the EMU maintenance workshop of Harbin EMU depot, said that in winter, Heilongjiang Province often encounters heavy snowstorms, and when the high-speed rail EMU is running at high speed, the snow on the track will be involved in the bogie under the car, which is easy to freeze, and it is necessary to clear the ice and snow in time to ensure the safety of driving.

"On average, it takes only 40 minutes to clear ice and snow per EMU, and the operation efficiency has nearly doubled. β
In order to ensure the safe operation of the EMU in the snow, the Harbin EMU Depot has also invested in an intelligent monitoring system, which can monitor the operation status in real time during the operation of the EMU and check the equipment at the bottom of the EMU without dead ends, adding multiple guarantees for the safe operation of passengers.
Railway whistles and road locomotives roar. "During the Spring Festival, we strictly implement the '7 24 hours' duty system. Zhou Zibing, director of the Highway Division of the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Transportation, said that in order to ensure the smooth flow of the Spring Festival, before the holiday, the province established a list of risks and hidden dangers and a rectification task ledger to ensure that major risk control is in place, and the rectification of potential safety hazards is in place, and increase daily inspections, maintenance and repairs.
Take the snow as the order, and clear it as you go. Zhou Zibing said that personnel, snow removal equipment, anti-skid materials, etc. have been fully reserved, people stop non-stop, once there is snow, the personnel on duty will immediately carry out ice and snow removal operations on key road sections, to ensure the passage of residents and material transportation requirements. "We will also release meteorological and road condition information in a timely manner through traffic broadcasting, WeChat and other channels, guide the public to choose routes reasonably, strictly prevent long-term and large-scale congestion, and achieve efficient travel.
