Late in bleak winter midnight, the wind was picking up in the dark. 48 railway workers as "night watchers" were still working at the Ning'er station of the China-Laos Railway. The railway fine adjustment operation had begun, and due to recent trial runs, the work can only be carried out between 3 am and 8 am when the train stops running.
