Sparks and Lightning Erupt from High-Speed Train Roof Under Snow and Freezing Rain
In a dramatic spectacle, sparks and lightning were seen erupting from the roof of a high-speed train as it traveled through snow and freezing rain. According to experts, the phenomenon is caused by “arc” between the pantograph and the contact line of the train, due to the breakdown of insulation formed by thin ice between the contact network and the pantograph, which leads to the generation of electric sparks.
The incident comes as the railway department is actively preventing and responding to low-temperature rain, snow, and freezing disasters to ensure the safe operation of trains. Furthermore, there are reports of another wave of “returning snow” in several regions, including Hunan, Hubei, northern Jiangxi, central and southern Anhui, southern Jiangsu, and central and northern Zhejiang. Additionally, there is a possibility of brief snowfall in Shanghai.
The weather is expected to turn cold and sunny in most parts of the country starting from February 10, with the snow stopping across the country. The railway department and relevant authorities are working diligently to ensure the safety and smooth operation of train services during these challenging weather conditions.
