The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 186 Accident
The distance between Jincheng and Beijing is more than 100 kilometers. Since ancient times, the communication has been very frequent, and the train is the most important connection hub.

There is even a seemingly inconspicuous jingle among the people-"Jinbei Yang, Zhang Luolang, Wan'an Huang, Fengyong Tongcha Zhengyang side."

It refers to all the train stations from Jincheng to Beijing at that time.

The reason for the appearance of the jingle is that the trains at that time did not announce the stops. If passengers remembered this jingle and counted each station, they would hardly miss the station.

After liberation, in order to serve the masses, before the train departs, the studio will broadcast the platform ahead, which saves the public a lot of trouble.

"Attention all passengers, Fengtai Station is the next stop, please prepare to get off and bring your luggage with you"

Zhang Yazhi's high-pitched voice came from the loudspeaker.

Train No. 131 passed Tongfengtai Station, Yongdingmen Station, Tongzhou Chadao Station, and Zhengyangmen Station without any accidents.

Li Aiguo also gradually relaxed, took out a cigarette, and smoked comfortably.

It seems that in this era when the bulls, horses, and snakes dare not show their heads, even the law of vertical flags has become invalid.

[-]-day safe driving record. Stable.

Sudden.

Liu Qingquan, the co-driver in charge of the lookout, shouted, "Report to the driver, it's raining outside."

Li Aiguo turned his head to look at the side glass.

The strong wind and the torrential rain were like countless whips, whipping fiercely on the glass windows.

"It's normal to rain, don't worry."

The co-driver Liu Qingquan didn't think so either.

The weather is changeable, and the trains are running outside, often encountering rain, hail, and snow.

As long as the tracks are clear, nothing will happen.

What they didn't expect was that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was raging and unstoppable.

It seems that there is a big hand that has been sketched in the sky, and the originally blue sky has been painted black.

In just a moment, the train seemed to turn from day into night.

The pattering raindrops fell on the car glass, which made people feel bored.

I am not afraid of rain.

The point is that it's very windy outside.

Through the car window, Li Aiguo saw a small tree rising from the ground and flying in the sky.

He decisively pulled down the gate, the wheels rubbed against the rails, and the speed of the train slowly decreased.

Liu Qingquan noticed that the speed of the car had dropped, and retracted his head from the window.

It was raining heavily outside, and in just a moment, his hair was already soaked, and there were raindrops on his nose and eyebrows.

He took out a towel to wipe off the water droplets on his face, and said loudly: "Comrade driver, we must be late when the speed drops so low. Captain Bai must have complaints."

What the train conductor hates most is being late.

It's not that they will be punished by the locomotive depot, but those who take the train, who doesn't want to go home early?

Seeing that the train is late, the passengers will inevitably complain, and the crew has to bear the complaints of the passengers.

Li Aiguo said: "It's better to be late than to have an accident. The wind outside is too strong. The big trees on both sides of the road are likely to be blown down. Let's be more careful."

"Understood, I must do a good job of looking out and make sure nothing will happen."

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Liu Qingquan immediately stuck his head out in the wind and rain.

As for the train conductor. She is only the train conductor, and there is no way to order the driver crew.

Liu Qingquan soon felt that he was a little overbearing.

The raindrops outside were fast and fierce, hitting his face like a knife.

And the rain was pouring desperately into his eyes and mouth, and he couldn't hold on for just a moment.

"Comrade driver, no, no, it's raining too much outside. This is the first time my old Liu has seen such a heavy rain at such an old age."

Liu Qingquan retracted his head, immediately picked up the towel and wiped his face desperately.

Li Aiguo had already reduced the speed of the car to the limit at this time, and the speed could not be lowered any further.

When driving, the speed of the train can be reduced, but it cannot stop.

Once the car stops and returns to the locomotive depot, it has to write materials to explain the situation to the depot.

If it is more serious, it will have to be criticized.

Li Aiguo turned around to look at Old Zheng, the fireman.

"Master Zheng, please take turns watching with Master Liu."

The speed of the car will be very low, and the fireman doesn't need to fill the car with coal all the time. Lao Zheng responded and took Liu Qingquan's place.

Just like that, the two took turns to look out, and the train traveled more than ten kilometers in the wind and rain.

When passing through an inspection station, the running train captain at the rear of the train reported the news that the train was delayed through a message note.

How much later it will be is uncertain.

inside the carriage.

Captain Bai called out all the flight attendants who were supposed to be resting.

Do a good job in service and explain to the passengers one by one.

People in this era are generally relatively simple. Passengers saw the heavy rain outside, knew the pros and cons of it, and expressed their understanding.

No one asked for compensation for delay at all.

Seeing that the situation in the train was stable, Captain Bai breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked out the window at the dark sky.

Now the safety of all the people in the car rests on the comrades in the driver group.

Inside the locomotive.

Li Aiguo tightly grasped the handle of the gate, turning his head to look at Liu Qingyuan from time to time, waiting for a sudden event to happen.

Until the heavy rain outside gradually thinned out, nothing happened.

At this time, it was less than 30 miles away from Huangcun Station, and Li Aiguo gradually relaxed.

"It seems that the white car has no crow's mouth"

"Brake! Brake! Brake!"

Liu Qingquan's exclamation came from beside his ear.

Li Aiguo hardly had time to think, the palm of his hand was under the effect of muscle memory.

Slam on the whistle, and a brake is "turned down very much" (the big and small brakes are pulled down at the same time, emergency brake).

The huge inertia of the train pushed the wheels that had been locked by the brake shoes to rub against the rails violently, making a piercing sound instantly, and sparks flew all the way under the train.
Due to the sudden braking in the train compartment, a crowd turned upside down, and the packages on the luggage rack also fell down.

The captain of the white car was patrolling the carriage, caught off guard, staggered, and almost fell to the floor.

Zhang Yazhi had sharp eyes and quick hands, and grabbed her: "Cheer Bai, are you alright?"

The driver of the white car didn't care about himself, and looked out of the car window with a terrified expression: "Yes, did something happen?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt that her question was a bit silly.

Such a drastic braking action, the train driver will only do it when a major accident occurs.

Fortunately, the train is only braking now, and there is no collision.

Thinking of this, Captain Bai's face suddenly turned pale, and he clutched the handrail tightly, silently hoping that the train would stop quickly.

Zhang Yazhi also realized that her teeth clenched her lips tightly, bleeding out from the bite.

Now the train driver is Li Aiguo
The noisy passengers in the carriage suddenly fell silent.

His expressions were tense, and his eyes were terrified.

Inside the locomotive.

After Li Aiguo made the braking action, Liu Qingquan continued to exclaim loudly: "Report to the driver, someone is waving a flag ahead. It's not a flag, it's like a torn jacket."

"How far away?"

"Seven 800 meters."

Li Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

"A train full of passengers weighs [-] tons.

The coefficient of friction between the wheels and rails is 0.17.

The current train speed is 30 kilometers per hour.

According to the friction formula, the braking distance can be calculated to be 500 meters.

We'll be sure to stop the train in time! "

Liu Qingquan and Master Zheng were dumbfounded.

A head was sticking out, and Ren Dayu slapped it on the head.

A man with a shovel in his hand stood beside the boiler.

This is not a train driver, this level of calculation is enough to be a math teacher.

What?
The welfare of teachers is far inferior to that of train drivers?
That's it.

In the pouring rain.

The speed of the train gradually decreased and eventually stopped.

"Pfft."

With a sound of exhaust, the moment the train stopped, the whole carriage cheered.

Although they didn't know what happened to the train, they were safe as long as the train stopped.

At this time, Li Aiguo's palms were clenched with sweat, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Mr. Newton sincerely does not deceive me!
This time your old coffin board finally held down
We will not bother you to keep jumping out of the coffin and swearing.

Liu Qingquan and Master Zheng were stunned.

"Good guy, it really stopped."

"Patriotic, your current driving level is about the same as that of Zhang Dache!"

Li Aiguo couldn't care less about chatting with them at this time.

Pulling open the side movable door, braved the wind and rain and jumped off the train.

It was dark outside at this time.
Big drops of shining raindrops are densely sprinkled from the sky, and the sky and the earth are blurred.

At 800 meters away, to be able to notice the situation here, the eyesight of the co-driver Liu Qingquan must be at least 6.0.

With the help of the bright headlights, Li Aiguo covered his eyes with his hands and squinted to see clearly.
More than 20 meters away from the front of the car, stood a 80-year-old old man.

He stood upright, in the middle of the rails.

In the bright lights, in the pouring rain.

The old man was naked from the upper body, letting the big raindrops hit his bare and wrinkled chest.

The wind takes advantage of the rain, and the rain helps the wind, as if it wants to sweep everything.

The old man needed a hoe in one hand to stand firm.

He raised one hand high, waving the worn-out jacket vigorously.

Not far behind him, a big tree was uprooted and lay across the rails.

Li Aiguo was afraid for a while.

If the train failed to stop in time and hit a big tree, the only result would be derailment.

at this time.

Both Liu Qingquan and Captain Bai drove off.

They put their clothes on their heads to avoid the heavy rain, and they were stunned when they saw the old man's appearance.

"Quick, find some clothes for the old man to wear."

Li Aiguo let out a loud cry.

Such a big wind and rain, even the young people can't stand it, let alone the old man.

but.

It was midsummer at this time, everyone was wearing short-sleeved clothes, so there were no extra clothes.

Li Aiguo didn't have time to think about it, he took off his short sleeves and put them on the old man's head, covering him from the wind and rain.

The heavy wind and heavy rain obscured the light, and also obscured people's sanity.

The old man didn't seem to have come to his senses yet, he was afraid of the train rushing over, and with his head covered with short sleeves, he kept waving his coat

"Uncle, Uncle, thank you for your reminder, the train has stopped, and the rain is too heavy at the moment, let's take shelter in the carriage first."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Li Aiguo had no time to think about it, and helped the old man into the camping car behind.

The flight attendants in the camping car quickly found towels to help the old man wipe off the rainwater on his body, and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Holding the enamel mug with his dry and thin hands, he drank two sips of hot tea, and the old man finally recovered.

He raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo: "Comrade, is the train saved?"

"Keep it, keep it!" Li Aiguo said loudly while wiping the rain with a towel.

Only then did the old man's tense mood ease, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's good to keep it, it's good to keep it"

The white driver came back with a coat and handed it to the old man: "Master, put it on first."

The jacket is a brand-new male flight attendant uniform, which should be a spare part of the flight crew.

"This is so inappropriate. My body is covered in mud. It's my fault. It would be a pity if such good clothes get dirty." A trace of embarrassment appeared on the old man's face.

"Master, you saved the people on our train. You are our big guy's savior. A piece of clothing is nothing. The weather changes a lot, so you can wear it." The white train captain squatted down to reason with the old man.

But no matter how much she persuaded, the old man was sure that he should not be greedy for petty gain, and the white driver also looked helpless.

This makes it difficult to find a clean old dress.

The old turtle hiding in the campervan smoked a cigarette, curled his lips and said, "A dog's head can't stand the plate—it can't get on the table. Is a rural mud leg worthy of such respect?"

Li Aiguo saw that the old man would not pick up his clothes no matter what, he stood up and said, "Old comrade, I am the leader on the train, and now I want to criticize you."

"Ah?! Criticize me?"

"Yes, this dress expresses the friendship of our locomotive depot to the peasant brothers. If you don't accept it, do you think there is no class brotherhood between us?"

"This"

The old man's face changed.

Biting his chapped lips, he hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the clothes and putting them on his body.

Even though he put on his clothes, he adjusted them a few times to prevent the clothes from sticking to the mud on his legs.

The captain of the white car took a surprise look at Li Aiguo.

I didn't expect this advanced driver to be able to do mass work.

At the same time, she secretly reminded herself.

As a train conductor, you should not only live in the city, you should not only live in the locomotive depot, you should get in touch with all kinds of people.

Only in this way can we better serve passengers.

Li Aiguo wiped off the rainwater on his body, and couldn't help but shudder, this rain was not like summer rain, it was icy cold.

"Driver Li, drink some water too." Zhang Yazhi came over with an enamel jar, and she was also carrying a coat.

While Li Aiguo was drinking tea, she helped to put the jacket on Li Aiguo's body, her fingers slid over the strong muscles, and her heart throbbed.

If a lesbian helps a gay man to dress, if it is placed in other scenes, it may be considered to be messing with the relationship between men and women.

But Li Aiguo stopped the train just in time, saved a carload of passengers, and braved the heavy rain to invite the old man onto the train.

Who dares to make irresponsible remarks, Captain Bai, go up first and tear him apart.

Li Aiguo chatted with the old man while drinking tea.

Waiting for the rain outside to gradually stop, I also know a lot about the old man's situation.

The old man's name is Zhou Shuanzhu, a villager from nearby Zhoujiazhuang.

Today, I was grazing sheep near the railway tracks, but suddenly it rained heavily.

Uncle Zhou was in a hurry to drive the sheep home. At that moment, a big tree more than 200 meters away from the railway track was blown down by the strong wind.

The trunk of the big tree had been rotten by moths, and it didn't weigh much, but because of its lush branches and leaves, it was scraped down on the railroad track.

At this time, Uncle Zhou didn't care about looking for the sheep, so he threw down the sheep whip in a hurry, trying to move the big tree away.

As a result, nothing works.

Although the tree is rotten, it cannot be moved by manpower.

When Uncle Zhou saw the lights of a train flashing in the distance, he rushed to the track and stopped the train without thinking too much.

Li Aiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket, but the cigarette box was already wet, and the cigarette inside became a sticky mess.

Seeing the situation, Liu Qingquan quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Li Aiguo, and then handed another to the old man.

Li Aiguo lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

The pungent smell of tobacco filled the lung cavity, and the whole person became much more energetic.

"Grandpa, how did you know how to stop the train by waving your coat?"

This sounds naive, even elementary school students know that when they encounter danger, they can wave a flag to remind the train driver to pay attention.

But you must know that in this era, the illiteracy rate is as high as 80.00%.

Many villagers in remote villages even think that the locomotive can run so fast because there are more than a dozen horses in it.

The old man smoked, and for the first time, pride appeared on his dark face: "Young man, don't look at me as a bad old man. Back then, I followed the team leader Liu Hong and attacked the devil's train on the railway line near Zaozhuang, Lincheng. .

Not to mention blocking the train, just at the speed of your train just now, the old man, I flew up and jumped on the ground. "

Captain Liu Hong. Lincheng Zaozhuang Feelings is the railway right-click team!
