加強執法力度 落實護路聯防責任制
——從大風刮起彩鋼板擊中高鐵列車談起

8月12日23時04分，一塊被大風刮起的彩鋼板擊中京滬高鐵G40次列車，造成列車和多處供電設備被砸壞，接觸網跳閘，列車自動緊急制動。經現場勘查，造成這次事故的是高鐵沿線的一處臨建民房的彩鋼板，長52 m、寬7 m，被6級大風整體吹起，掉落在線路和接觸網上。受此次事故影響，部分列車晚點6 h以上，北京南站13日和14日共有46趟到發列車停運。這次事故雖然沒有造成人員傷亡，但給廣大旅客和鐵路運輸帶來了很大傷害。

為加強鐵路安全管理、保障鐵路運輸安全和暢通、保護人身和財產安全而制定的《鐵路安全管理條例》(以下簡稱《條例》)，經國務院常務會議通過，2013年8月17日李克強總理簽發國務院第639號令，自2014年1月1日起施行。

近幾年來，由于氣候變暖，惡劣氣象、極端天氣時有發生，加上人們的不當行為，彩鋼房瓦片、上跨電力線、風箏、無人機、氣球、石塊、垃圾等異物入侵而擾亂、破壞高鐵運輸的事件屢有所聞。為防止路外異物的入侵，《條例》第27條規定：鐵路線路兩側應當設立鐵路線路安全保護區。保護區的范圍為：城市市區高鐵線路兩側向外10 m，其他地區高鐵線路兩側向外20 m。

如果造成這次事故的彩鋼板來自20 m以外的臨建民房，對此,《條例》也有明文規定：前款規定距離不能滿足鐵路運輸安全保護需要的，由鐵路建設單位或者鐵路運輸企業提出方案，鐵路監督管理機構或者縣級以上地方人民政府依照本條第三款規定程序劃定。

假定這塊彩鋼板來自50 m外的民房，是否有必要將高鐵線路安全保護區的范圍擴大到線路外側50 m、甚至500 m？

其實，《條例》第53條已有規定：禁止實施下列危害電氣化鐵路(高鐵也是電氣化鐵路的一種——筆者注)設施的行為：①向電氣化鐵路接觸網拋擲物品；②在鐵路電力線路導線兩側各500 m的范圍內升放風箏、氣球等低空飄浮物體；③攀登鐵路電力線路桿塔或者在桿塔上架設、安裝其他設施設備；④在鐵路電力線路桿塔、拉線周圍20 m范圍內取土、打樁、鉆探或者傾倒有害化學物品；⑤觸碰電氣化鐵路接觸網。

可見，如今的問題是如何加強對《條例》的執法力度。按《條例》第4條的規定：鐵路沿線地方各級人民政府和縣級以上地方人民政府有關部門應當按照各自職責，加強保障鐵路安全的教育，落實護路聯防責任制，防范和制止危害鐵路安全的行為，協調和處理保障鐵路安全的有關事項，做好保障鐵路安全的有關工作。

黨的十九大黨章修正案規定：黨的基層委員會、總支委員會、支部委員會每屆任期三年至五年。近日，中共中央辦公廳印發《關于黨的基層組織任期的意見》，提出“村和社區黨的委員會、總支委員會、支部委員會每屆任期為5年”。這一實施細則對于落實"四個全面"的意義深遠，必須認真學習貫徹。

鐵路運輸企業、鐵路沿線地方各級人民政府和縣級以上地方人民政府安全生產監督管理部門在鐵路監管部門的協調下，應該建立起護路聯防的常設機構，并落實到高鐵線路通過的每一個行政村和城市社區，以加強日常監管，進行鐵路運輸安全檢查，消除安全隱患，確保運輸安全。為加強《條例》的執法力度，應該對違法行為實行追責和嚴肅問責。

Strengthen the Law Enforcement Dynamics and Implement the Responsibility System of Railway Maintenance′s Joint Defense——Starting to Talk from the Gale-blown Color Steel Plate′s Hitting the High-speed Rail Train

At 23:04 on August 12,2018,a color steel plate blown by the heavy wind hit the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail G40 train,resulting in the train′s and a number of power supply equipment′s being smashed,the overhead contact system′s (OCS) tripping and the train′s automatic emergency braking.Through the scene investigation,it was the color steel plate from a makeshift residential house along the high-speed railway line that caused this accident.This color steel plate,52 meters long and 7 meters wide,was blown upwards as a whole by the 6-level strong wind,and fell down on the railway line and the overhead contact system.Affected by this accident,some trains delayed for more than 6 hours.On August 13 and 14,2018,there was a total of 46 trains of arrive or depart to be stopped on Beijing South Railway Station.Although the accident did not cause casualties,it brought great harm to the vast number of passengers and rail transport.

In order to strengthen the railway safety management,ensure the railway transportation safety and unimpeded,and protect personal and property safety,"The Railway Safety Management Regulations" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") were formulated.These "Regulations" were adopted by the State Council executive meeting and on August 17,2013,Prime Minister Li Keqiang issued the State Council′s NO.639 order.And they went into effect from January 1,2014.

In recent years,due to climate warming,bad weather,and extreme weathers′ taking place from time to time,combined with people′s improper behavior,the incidents of such foreign object debris′ as color steel shelter tiles,overhead-crossing power lines,kites,unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV),balloons,stones and garbage,etc.,making invasions,so as to disrupt the high-speed rail transportation,have been repeatedly heard.In order to prevent the invasion of foreign object debris outside railways,Article 27 of the "Regulations" stipulates: "The safety-protected areas should be set up on both sides of railway lines." The scopes of protected areas should be 10-meter outward on both sides of the city′s high-speed railway lines and on both sides of other areas′ high-speed railway lines,should be 20-meter outward.

If the color steel plate that caused the accident was from a makeshift residential house 20-meter away,in response,the "Regulations" also expressly provides: "If the distance that the preceding article stipulates could not meet the requirements of railway transport safety protection needs,railway construction units or railway transport enterprises propose solutions,and in accordance with Article 3 of these "Regulations",the railway supervisory authority or the local people′s governments at or above the county level should stipulate a distance.

Assuming this color steel plate was from a residential house 50-meter away,is it necessary to extend the scope of safety protected areas of high-speed railway lines to 50 meters outside the railway lines,or even 500 meters?

As a matter of fact,Article 53 of the "Regulations" has already provides that the following actions that would endanger electrified railway facilities should be prohibited (High-speed railways are also a kind of electrified railways.--the author′s note): (1) Throwing articles to overhead contact systems of electrified railways.(2) Raising or flying the low altitude floating objects,such as kites and balloons etc.in the 500-meter scope on both sides of railway power lines.(3) Climbing the poles or the towers of railway power lines or erecting or installing additional facilities and equipment on the poles or the towers.(4) Taking soil,piling,drilling or dumping harmful chemical items in the 20-meter scope around the railway power line poles or towers and pulling-lines.(5) Touching or contacting overhead contact systems of electrified railways.

It can be seen that the problem now we are facing is how to strengthen the enforcement dynamics of the "Regulations".According to the provisions of Article 4 of the "Regulations",the relevant departments of the local people′s governments at all levels and the local people′s governments at or above the county level along railway lines,in accordance with their respective duties,should strengthen the railway safety education,implement railway maintenance′s joint defense responsibility system,prevent and suppress acts of endangering the railway safety,coordinate and handle the related matters of ensuring the railway safety and do the related jobs of ensuring the railway safety well."

The Party Constitution Amendment of the Party′s 19th National Congress stipulates: A primary-level Party committee,a general Party branch committee or a Party branch committee is elected for a term of three to five years.Recently,General Office of the CPC Central Committee issued "The Opinions on Terms of the Party′s Primary-level Organizations",proposing that "The Party committee,the general Party branch committee and the branch committees of villages and communities are elected for a term of five years." This implementing detailed regulation is far-reaching significant for the implementation of the "Four Comprehensives",and we must seriously study it and implement it.

The railway transportation enterprises,the supervision and management departments for safety production of the local people′s governments at all levels and the local people′s governments at or above the county level along railway lines,under the coordination of the railway supervision and management departments,should establish a standing body for railway maintenance′s joint defense and this must be implemented in every administrative village and city community through which the high-speed railway lines are passed,so as to strengthen the daily supervision and management,eliminate safety hidden trouble and ensure transportation safety.In order to strengthen the law enforcement dynamics of the "Regulations",it should ascertain where the responsibility lies and implement serious accountability for illegal activities.
