Random light objects such as broken kites, floating balloons, and drifting plastic films pose significant threats to the safe operation of high-speed railway lines, affecting the order of the railway network or causing irreversible damage to the overhead contact system equipment at worst. The duty of a group of railway staff members is to regularly patrol the routes to clean off these objects from the railway grid in time. (Photo by Duan Yanan/Xinhua)
