In recent years, the issue of direct discharge of train toilets onto railways has received much attention. There are indeed cases of direct discharge from train toilets onto railways, especially on older trains. This practice mainly appeared on trains that were designed and built earlier, where excrement was directly discharged onto the tracks. This structure is also known as the straight row type. Sometimes passengers can even feel the wind blowing in from the squatting hole. The advantages of this approach are simple structure, low cost, and easy maintenance, but its disadvantages are also very obvious, which are easy to cause environmental pollution and hygiene problems.
In response to the situation where old-fashioned straight row train toilets directly discharge feces onto the railway, we need to explore in depth whether it will have adverse effects on anti-corrosion sleepers, and analyze the advantages of anti-corrosion sleepers in dealing with this situation, in order to provide better guarantees for the continuous operation of railway facilities.
In the past, it was a common practice for train toilets to directly discharge feces onto railways, which not only posed hygiene and environmental issues, but also caused certain damage to railway facilities. Anti corrosion sleepers are mainly used to replace traditional wooden sleepers to prevent the decay of sleepers caused by moisture, bacteria, and fungi. During the production process, anti-corrosion sleepers will be immersed in anti-corrosion oil through high temperature and high pressure to increase their antibacterial and anti-corrosion capabilities. However, the direct discharge from train toilets can cause a certain degree of corrosion and erosion to the sleepers, leading to a decrease in their quality and increasing the maintenance costs and risks of railway facilities.
To solve this problem, anti-corrosion sleepers need to have the following advantages: firstly, anti-corrosion sleepers need to have high strength and durability, able to withstand the heavy pressure and vibration of trains during operation. Secondly, anti-corrosion sleepers need to have good anti-corrosion and antibacterial capabilities, which can effectively resist bacterial and fungal erosion in the external environment. Again, anti-corrosion sleepers need to have good sealing and water resistance to prevent moisture from seeping into the interior of the sleepers and causing corrosion. Finally, anti-corrosion sleepers need to have the characteristics of easy maintenance and replacement to ensure the continuous operation and safety of railway facilities.
In short, the direct discharge of feces from old-fashioned straight row train toilets onto the railway may have adverse effects on anti-corrosion sleepers. However, through the advantages of high strength, corrosion resistance, sealing, and easy maintenance of anti-corrosion sleepers, this situation can be effectively addressed, providing better guarantees for the continuous operation of railway facilities. Railway engineers need to seriously consider this issue and constantly seek effective solutions to ensure the safety and stability of the railway system. May our railway facilities become more and more perfect, providing more convenient and safe guarantees for people's travel.
