EMUs pass through the roof of the station.
Have you ever seen such a cool picture?
I'll take you to know one today.
A high-speed rail station with a unique location.
Poke**! Get a sneak peek.
One stop and three provinces!
Huai'an Station is located in Huai'an County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, at the junction of Hebei, Shanxi and Mongolia provinces, and is an important high-speed railway station connecting Beijing-Zhangjiakou, Zhanghu and Zhangda, as well as the first station in the northwestern Hebei region to enter the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
The station was put into operation on December 30, 2019, with a construction area of about 4,490 square meters and two sets of 6 lines, which is an intermediate station of high-speed rail.
The station has three floors, the first floor is the waiting area, and the second and third floors are equipped with driving rooms, equipment rooms, office areas, etc.
The platform is flush with the roof of the station building, and the height is about 16 meters above the ground. When the train stops and passes, it passes through the roof of the station, and the scenery is very strange.
At present, more than 100 EMUs pass through Huai'an Station every day.
There are 4 EMUs that change the direction of operation in the station, namely D2780 2777 and D2778 2779 from Hohhot East to Jinan West, and D2783 2782 and D2784 2781 from Zhengzhou East to Baotou.
How do I change the direction of travel?
Take the D2778 2779 EMU from Jinan West to Hohhot East as an example. The train enters Huai'an Station from west to east through the Zhangda high-speed railway, and the train number is D2779. The driver changed to the driver's cab at the other end, and then drove the EMU out of Huai'an Station from east to west, and drove to the east of Hohhot through the Zhanghu high-speed railway, at which time the train number was changed to D2778.
During the stop of the train on the platform, in order to ensure the safety of the train and passengers, the station staff will inspect the platform environment in advance and use the horn to carry out safety publicity tips throughout the process.
Escort maintenance personnel
In order to meet the transportation needs, a total of 22 sets of turnouts have been installed in the Huai'an station yard, of which 4 groups of throat turnouts are more than 5 times the length of ordinary turnouts, with complex internal structures and many equipment parts.
The operators of the Zhangjiakou Public Works Section of China Railway Beijing Bureau Group use the "skylight" time to inspect the line every day, and regularly renovate and maintain the equipment.
Recently, the Huai'an area of Zhangjiakou ushered in the first snowfall of the Year of the Dragon. In the early hours of the morning, the railway people on the viaduct had to overcome the difficulties caused by bad weather such as low temperature and strong wind, and carefully inspect and repair the track equipment to ensure the safe and smooth transportation of the return journey of the Spring Festival.
One stop and three provinces!
