Deep in the mountains of Wumeng, Guizhou Province, the shuihong Railway (Liupanshui Hongguo) winds like a giant dragon. On the fourth line bridge of Songhe station, 98 kilometers away from shuihong railway, there are such a group of "houlang". They are full of vigor and vitality and are in full bloom, spreading their blood and youth on the hot rail "0.3mm, 0.1mm, 0mm..." At about 7:00 on May 14, Zhang Guifu, the foreman of panguanqiao road maintenance area of Qujing Public Works section of China Railway Kunming Bureau Group Co., Ltd., came to the office early to compare, analyze and study a group of data Although he has been familiar with the bridge for a long time, he never paid less attention to it. Deep in the mountains of Wumeng, Guizhou Province, the shuihong Railway (Liupanshui Hongguo) winds like a giant dragon. At 8:00, on the fourth line bridge of Songhe station, 98 km away from shuihong railway, Zhang Guifu led three colleagues of the post-90s to inspect the bridge as a rule. "Half an hour before the arrival of each train, we need to carry out a comprehensive inspection of the bridge and confirm that all data are normal before the train can be released." Zhang Guifu, a young man of the post-90s generation, has been working as a team leader for more than three years. In his days with Dashan, he guarded the safety of the bridge, which also witnessed his growth. In Zhang Guifu's bridge protection team, except for two "80" employees, the other 10 employees in panguanqiao road maintenance work area are all "90", with an average age of only 27 years. The youngest is Cheng Yang, a post-95 college graduate from Shaanxi Province, who entered the road in 2017. In order to adjust the rest time, they were divided into three groups and divided into two shifts. On May 14, it happened to be Zhang Guifu, Cheng Yang, Cai Yakun and Deng Changgang's day shift. "During the day, the risk of inspection is less, but the time of duty is long and the frequency of inspection is high. Especially during holidays, on average, there is a train passing by in 30 minutes. " Zhang Guifu said. The day shift is from 8:00 to 22:00. There are 25 trains at most and more than 10 trains at night. One day, they had to measure 420 times on the 10 meter high pier and bend over to check the track more than 1300 times. They not only measured the 12 key parts of No.1, No.2, No.3 and No.4 piers of the fourth line bridge, such as beam body, pier support, steel buttress and beam end joint, but also inspected the geometric dimensions of the 4 tracks of Songhe station, and determined whether the bridge was safe by analyzing each data change. "Every little change of the bridge affects our nerves. We record and observe the bridge strictly according to the regulations, and guard the safety of the bridge with our heart." Zhang Guifu said. The four seasons change and the stars change. The bridge is still in place. Zhang Guifu and others are busy around the bridge. Talking about the difficulties of "guarding the bridge", Zhang Guifu thinks that the most difficult one is the rain night inspection, because it is not convenient to wear raincoat and umbrella for high-altitude work, and the safety risk is also great. Cai Yakun couldn't help but take over the conversation: "on May 1st Labor Day, I met a heavy rain during the inspection. In fact, at that time, more consideration was given to the impact of rain on the bridge and the risk of high-altitude operation. Water and mud were secondary." He smiled and patted his bulging stomach. "I wanted to add some clothes before I went to work that day, but I felt that I was too fat. I was worried that it would be too difficult to enter the inspection hole with an area of only 0.36 square meters." When it comes to difficulties, everyone looks at each other with a smile and says in unison, "eat!" Since the trains are mostly at noon, they always arrange lunch time after 14 o'clock. "In fact, we bridge and tunnel workers are used to not eating according to the order. If every day's inspection can find out the problems in time and rectify them so that every train can pass safely, hard work is nothing. " Here, Zhang Guifu, who has worked for seven years without any mistakes, is very proud. During the conversation, the voice of 6061 passenger train notice came from the interphone. Four young people immediately took the road ruler, ruler, record book and other tools to the fourth line bridge
