Railway department helps cotton farmers return home safely and comfortably

Xinjiang not only has beautiful scenery and rich national characteristics, but also is the largest cotton production base in China. The cotton growth cycle is 200 days, and the picking period is concentrated in the 40 days around October every year. The cotton must be picked in frost free period, otherwise the weather will turn cold and the cotton peach will land. Xinjiang is a vast and sparsely populated area, and it is impossible to complete such a large-scale cotton picking by relying on local cotton farmers. Therefore, a spectacular scene of "cotton picking army" going to Xinjiang to harvest cotton is formed every autumn. The main force of hundreds of thousands of "cotton pickers" in

comes from all over Sichuan. Using the two months of slack time at the end of the year, the "cotton picker" gains a share of income through hard work with both hands. Cotton farmers set out from Chengdu to pick in Xinjiang in August and September every year, and returned home from Kuitun, Shihezi, Aksu and other places around November. At this time, it is the peak of passenger flow of "picking cotton in Xinjiang" back home, and its scale is no less than a "small Spring Festival transport"

"cotton picker", who has worked hard for two months, has returned to Chengdu for a long journey of 3000 kilometers from Urumqi. The railway department should guarantee their safe and comfortable return. Therefore, the railway department has organized personnel to conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection of all parts of the return train. In view of the cold climate, the heating system and the aging of the sealing strip of the window glass were mainly renovated and replaced. Improve the cold insulation performance of the car to ensure the warmth and comfort of the journey home

in response to the peak return passenger flow, the railway department launched the "return train" to reasonably optimize the vehicle configuration. For the characteristics of cotton farmers who usually carry "cotton bags" when they return home, the emergency plan was planned to dissuade smoking in the carriage, and regular ventilation was carried out to ensure long-term air freshness, so as to create a comfortable and safe driving environment for the return of cotton picking brothers and sisters. In view of various seasonal and social transport tasks, the railway department actively responded to meet the passenger's riding needs to the maximum extent, and made every effort from train preparation, ticket purchase, travel service, security check-in and other aspects to ensure the convenience of passengers' riding and safe home with the joy and harvest As the main artery of national economy, the
