On August 17, the water level in Mianyang section of Sichuan Fujiang River rose above the warning value, posing a serious threat to baoji-chengdu railway Fujiang Bridge. In the afternoon, two heavy-duty trains with a total weight of more than 8 100 tons drove onto the bridge to cope with the flood peak crossing. It is understood that baoji-chengdu railway Fujiang Bridge is a steel structure bridge with light weight. If you don't increase your own weight, the steel structure bridge of the bridge may be washed away.

This is the second time for heavy vehicles to put beams after 20 18. By loading heavy objects on the train to suppress the bridge, the weight of the bridge can be increased and the flood resistance of the bridge can be increased.
