抗雪灾保春运中国铁路打赢攻坚战

2008年伊始,一场半个世纪以来最为严重的冰雪灾害席卷江南大地。突如其来的冰冻灾难,导致湘黔电网局部崩溃,京广铁路因停电中断,京珠高速公路陷于瘫痪,多个民航机场关闭,湖南、贵州、湖北、江西电网全面告急。此时,铁路春运节前高峰已经显现。一时间,数百万归心似箭的旅客滞留归途!群众生产生活急需的电煤库存频频告急!连续十多天的暴风雪,让人们把回家过年的希望寄托在铁路那伸向远方的钢轨、那驶向家乡的列车上。从心忧天下的国家最高领导人,到渴盼回家过年的普通农民工,一束束希望的目光聚焦铁路。作为国民经济大动脉,铁路必须担当。于是,在中华民族抗冰救灾的壮歌中,一列列满载电煤的钢铁巨龙,风驰电掣,到祖国最需要的地方去;一列列满载旅客的温馨列车,穿越冰雪,到人民最需要的地方去。
