The world’s first insulators for a salt‑lake railway have begun cleaning.

The Qarhan Salt Lake area has a high concentration of airborne salt, which readily deposits on railway traction power supply catenary equipment, causing circuit breaker tripping and even widespread power outages, thereby increasing the risk of train‑operation safety incidents. To ensure the smooth operation of the Qinghai–Tibet Railway, the Golmud Overhaul Workshop of the Xining Power Supply Section of the Qinghai–Tibet Group Company will carry out a 20‑day cleaning campaign on traction power supply equipment in sections affected by salt contamination within its jurisdiction.
