1987 10 3 1 The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is an important traditional festival in China, and it is also the day when Shuping Town of Zigong City appeared. On the railway in front of No.2 turnout at Shuping Station, pedestrians rushing to the scene are endless. Peng, the switchman of Neijiang Depot of Chongqing Railway Branch, who is on duty at Shuping Station No.2 yard, walked out of the yard with a signal flag to prepare for the upcoming 8 16 direct freight train from Yibin to Chengdu. Because the sight distance of the yard is blocked by the curve, it is not convenient to see the coming cars in Yibin direction. Once the locomotive appears, it is only about 200 meters away from the yard.
At 9: 00, 17, accompanied by rolling white smoke and sharp whistle, the head of the 8 16 train appeared on the bend in the direction of Yibin. Peng blew the flute, and people who arrived at the scene ran off the railway. However, there is still an old woman carrying her child (Group 3, Xiaojia Village, Gao Feng Township, yantan district City, Zigong City, 60-year-old Deng Guihua and her 8-month-old grandson Deng Taidong) staggering back to the train with her. Peng was so anxious that he shouted, "The train is coming! Go down quickly! " However, Peng's shouts and the sharp whistle of the locomotive did not cause any reaction from the old lady. The train driver immediately took emergency braking measures, but the train continued to rush forward along the downhill slope of 5.2‰ with strong inertia. At that time, it was only forty or fifty meters away from the old people and young women, and the situation was extremely critical. Seeing that grandma and grandson will be swallowed up by the train. At this critical moment, Peng jumped into the middle of the track and pushed the old woman out of the track bed. Grandma and grandson were saved, but Peng was hit by the left front pedal of the locomotive, jumped out of the track bed and stayed in the ditch 14 meters away, giving his precious life.
After the news of Peng Zhuanglie's sacrifice came out, railway workers, relatives and friends, neighbors and even villagers near the station who knew him came to mourn and cherish the memory of this ordinary but great switchman. ...
Peng, 1954 March 16, was born in an ordinary railway worker's family in Sichuan. 1971May After graduating from No.17 Middle School, he jumped the queue and settled in Liu Sheng Commune, Yongshou District, meishan county, Sichuan. During his stay in the countryside, he learned everything by digging holes, plowing fields and planting seedlings. 1975, the members elected him as the vice captain of the production team and the leader of the scientific research team of the production team. Because of his outstanding performance, he was well received by local leaders and the masses, and joined the * * * Youth League on April 1976. In June, 5438+10, I attended the second congress of advanced collectives and individuals of educated youth going to the countryside in meishan county. These honors are everyone's affirmation of Peng's ability, as well as his excellent quality and good social morality of respecting the old and caring for the young, caring for comrades, helping the weak and helping the poor.
He is always ready to help others, whether during jumping the queue in the countryside or after taking part in railway work. Ma Chunan, a farmer in our team, is in trouble. He often carries water for the elderly and takes care of them actively. The educated youth who went to the countryside together fell ill and was hospitalized. He invited his partner to walk 30 miles to visit the hospital. In the dormitory of the unit, he often picks up and takes care of the children for his neighbors; There was no water supply in summer, and he was alone at home, so he took the trouble to fetch water for everyone to drink.
He is very simple. There are five brothers and sisters at home. He is the boss, with two homes on his shoulders, his own home and the hometown where his parents, brothers and sisters live. He tries his best to help anyone in trouble. Although my income is not high, I have been trying my best to support my parents and help my siblings. 1986, when he was repairing a house in his hometown, he took out 2000 yuan of savings, but he scrimped and saved, brought his own food to work, and wore work clothes almost all year round. He cherishes money, but he is not ignorant or greedy for ill-gotten gains. 1985, he found more than 300 yuan in cash and a passbook in front of the bank and gave it to the bank without hesitation. Once I bought a chicken in the market and forgot to pay for it. After I found it, I turned around and took the initiative to hand over the money to the seller. He has a friend who runs a restaurant. After closing at night, he finds that there is 20 yuan in the store. He persuaded and urged the friend to return the money to the owner.
1In February, 977, Peng took over from his retired father and left Meishan rural area to work in Chongqing Railway Sub-bureau. He successively worked as a switchman at Fuxi Station and Shuping Station in Neijiang Railway Depot. After Peng's contact, he worked hard and studied his technical business seriously. After working for more than a year, I participated in the Youth League Congress of Neijiang Railway Depot with good performance. The League Congress Award gave him a hard copy, which he cherished. On the first page of his diary, he copied down the basic system of station traffic work in the Railway Regulations in neat and straight font. The next 20 pages are all about railway technology and safety business knowledge that a switchman should know. His rigorous learning attitude made him among the best in the examination of point machine technology and business. ?
He is content with ordinary work and loyal to his duties. As a switchman, he is well aware of the importance of maintaining turnouts. The average monthly score of the No.8 turnout he was responsible for wiping exceeded 80 points, reaching the standard of "Red Flag" turnout. The director of the safety room of Neijiang Railway Depot said: "Peng's turnout is the best in the whole station. The whole paragraph is as serious and responsible as he is, and there are not many switches who strictly abide by the rules. " The stationmaster of Shuping Station said: "Peng is always conscientious, and the turnouts he maintains are always among the best. Every time he goes to work, he is dressed neatly and has a complete megaphone badge, which is strictly regulated. " The word "strict" outlines Peng Xin's rigorous work style. The work at No.2 switch station is hard, but Peng has worked here for four years and has never been emotional. 1987, it is said that the line equipment of Ping Railway Station was rebuilt, and the color light signal was suspended, so it was necessary to send someone to guide the car. However, the entrance signal is about one kilometer away from the switch station. Some people don't want to go, but Peng takes the initiative to guide.
With his rigorous work style and loyal work attitude, Peng has found many hidden dangers that may lead to car accidents and deaths. Notebook records of Ping Shu Station:
"1984 12 15 Peng found that the bolt at the root of No.8 turnout was broken, ..."
"On July 24th 1986, 24 12 trains passed through No.2 yard, Peng found that the first car behind the locomotive was running on the left combustion shaft, and immediately notified the dispatcher and handled it." ,
"In June 1987 65438+1October19, Peng found that the bolt at the root of switch 6 was broken. ……"
1February, 987 18, when Peng took over, he found that the switch point rail of 10 was not firmly attached, and informed the monitor of the works section to deal with it.
"On September 25th 1987, Peng inspected and found that the bolt at the root of No.6 turnout was broken, and informed the squad leader of the Works Section to handle it."
……?
Don't these short records reflect Comrade Peng's dedication to his post and his high sense of responsibility for state property? He said to the leading comrades of the inspection work: "The switchman is like the gate of the station. We should let the trains and pedestrians pass through the gate safely." Up to the date of death (10,31), there were no traffic accidents for ten years, and personal safety production reached 3,933 days.
In his 33-year life, Peng has faced life and death choices many times. In junior high school, he risked his life to save his partner who fell into the water; When educated youth, he rushed to the burning house to help farmers put out the fire; Due to the terrain, people flow, equipment and other reasons, the railway near the No.2 switch station where Peng is located is prone to off-road casualties. At a critical juncture, he saved pedestrians with his life several times: 1985 At 9: 22 on March 3, 3 10 express train came from Yibin, and an old woman stood on the railway in fear. Peng decisively rushed up and pushed the old man out of the road. 1987 One day in April, when the train came, an old farmer was still walking slowly on the railway. He rushed to the railway and pushed the old farmer out. On August 26th, when the No.2424 train pulled into the station, two girls aged around 13 were still walking in the middle of the road. Peng Xinming shouted and waved the national flag. After the train suddenly braked, it passed by the two children, so that they survived.
1987 65438+1October 16 15: 47, when a tanker stopped at the station was connected with a moving train, gasoline spilled from the joint of the top cover. When braking, a raging fire belt with a length of about 1 1 m is formed from the tank car to the yard. He immediately rushed to the fire with his colleagues. Peng did not hesitate, grabbed a mass of cotton yarn, dipped it in water and walked straight to the tanker. The flames came at him, scorched his hair, eyebrows and beard, and caught fire, but he completely ignored it, rolled the fire out on the ground and continued to rush to the railway and tanker to put out the fire. At this time, someone exclaimed: "Run, the tanker is going to explode!" " "He replied," You can't run away! If it explodes, the space station will be finished. "With the heroic efforts of him and everyone, the fire was quickly controlled, but Peng's palm, left arm and face were burned. 1 October 3 1,1,his face and hands were still burned by fire, but in order to protect the 60-year-old man and her infant child, he resolutely rushed to the railway again, but it was fixed as an eternal scene.
He often said to his siblings, "A person's life should be clear and white, not vigorous." This unpretentious language shows Peng's self-discipline, honesty and selfless dedication, shows the true self of a generation of railway workers, and writes a colorful chapter of spiritual civilization for that era.
