Afterwards, China Railway Beijing Group Co., Ltd. urgently allocated 6000 units of various types of food, drinking water, and other daily necessities from Zhangjiakou and Xuanhua regions; 195 people were urgently selected from the Zhangjiakou train depot and emergency repair personnel on the line to form a material delivery assault team and quickly transport the materials to the rescue train.

At 20:56 on July 31st, the 57402 material transportation train departed from Zhangjiakou Station and was transported from Xuanhua Station to Yanhecheng Station. Due to the serious burial caused by mudslides along the railway line, the railway department cleared the line overnight while advancing. The train transporting goods arrived 8 to 9 kilometers away from Yanhecheng Station on the morning of August 1st.

The line here is completely interrupted, and trains cannot move forward. The assault team members are transporting daily necessities such as instant noodles, mineral water, ham sausages, etc. to Yanchenghe Station in batches by carrying them on their shoulders and walking. At noon on August 1st, the first batch of rescue supplies had been delivered to passengers stranded on train K1178.

Why did passengers on train K1178 not transfer?

Family members of passengers: temporarily staying in the carriage may be the safest option

After the temporary stop of K1178 train, a family member of a passenger learned from the relevant railway department that although the K1178 train is currently parked at a higher location, it is surrounded by mountainous areas and some roads are blocked. Considering everyone's safety, there has been no transfer for the time being.

After the incident, the family members of the passenger stayed by their mobile phones for 24 hours, waiting for their calls. However, there was no news. It was possible that the phone was out of battery or the communication signal was poor. He believed that it was safest to adopt a temporary approach where everyone was in the carriage.

"Indeed, we cannot run around recklessly. It is not safe at the foot of the mountain. If the road is broken now, it is not good for so many people to organize a transfer. As long as food and drink can be provided, everyone's emotions can be guaranteed, and there are no other accidents. I think this method is currently the most suitable, but waiting is agonizing."

The family member of the passenger said that he can only inquire about information from K1178 through official channels now.

Last night, Beijing Railway announced that train K1178 was stopping at Yanhecheng Railway Station. The station has a high terrain and good geological conditions, with all passengers inside the carriages, ensuring safety and safety.

This morning, the family of the passenger noticed that the Beijing Railway official has twice released news about the K1178 train. The first time was in Zhangjiakou and Xuanhua areas where 6000 units of various types of food, drinking water, and other daily necessities were urgently allocated. 195 people were drawn from the Zhangjiakou train depot to form a material loading and unloading team to transport daily necessities to the rescue train.

The information released this time mentioned that the K1178 railway line along the way was severely buried by mudslides, and almost all of its feet were trapped in the mudslides.

The latest news is that the first batch of supplies has been delivered to the train.

Before the passengers on the train had a signal from their mobile phones and electricity, their family had told them that they were worried about the toilet and water usage on the train. Normal trains passing through the station would have to add water and clean up the dirt.

"I'm worried about personal grooming and going to the bathroom now, I guess it's not very convenient now."

Today is still my sister's birthday, I hope they are safe and smooth

Xiaozhao from Tongzhou District, Beijing is also anxiously waiting for the news of the K1178 train.

Beijing Tongzhou just stopped raining

Xiao Zhao came to Beijing after graduation and lived for 12 years. A while ago, her little nephew was going to celebrate his birthday, so she asked her sister to come to Beijing with her little nephew from Gansu, her hometown. However, the K1178 had not arrived yet, and she encountered rainstorm on the way.

Xiao Zhao said that this is my nephew's first time traveling far away. "My nephew and my sister are in the car. My nephew has just entered first grade. Before the summer vacation, he saw a text about Tiananmen Square and said he wanted to go. My sister took advantage of his annual leave to bring him to Beijing."

On the afternoon of the 29th, Xiaozhao's sister and nephew boarded a train from Yinchuan. However, they arrived near the riverside city of Beijing the day before yesterday, and the train stopped moving. "It should have been almost two days now, but people can't be contacted mainly because their phones are out of battery and communication is not good. I have been scrolling news and know that they are very safe, but I am still a bit anxious."

Xiao Zhao said that passengers from two previous trains have already been transferred. It is said that K1178, which my sister is riding on, is not very easy to transfer. The information she heard is that the nearby areas are all mountainous and the roads are not easy to walk. "Some of the information was told by the families of the passengers on this train, and everyone passed it on to each other."

Xiao Zhao said that it has been raining in Beijing these past two days, and the rain in Tongzhou District where she lives is not very heavy. Moreover, the rain has stopped today. "The rain in Chaoyang District is not too heavy, mainly in the suburbs and mountainous areas."

She said she hopes to have good news today. "Today is my sister's birthday, and tomorrow is my little nephew's birthday. I came to Beijing specifically to celebrate my birthday. My home is still being renovated, and when I suddenly encountered this, I had to put aside the renovation work for now. I hope they can be safe and smooth."
