Smooth rail transport ensured in bad weather

Chinese railway operators have introduced innovative ways to boost rail transport during rainy weather. China Railway Taiyuan Group has activated emergency plans as heavy rains have been affecting Jinzhong, Shanxi province. Staff members from its Jiexiu East Station under the Jiexiu Train Service Depot intensified patrols of tracks and other vital equipment, making sure every device functions perfectly. When water pools on platforms and entry-exit corridors, cleaners are quickly dispatched to clear drains and lay anti-slip mats to prevent possible falls. Meanwhile, customer service teams opened fast lanes for passengers needing special care, to help provide orderly and safe journeys for travelers.
