operation was halted for nearly 10 hours due to heavy rainfall.
During the past two days, continuous heavy rainstorms hit east China's Anhui
Province, which made the railway section within the province's Chuxian County
flooded.

than 200 soldiers and 460 workers from the administration were sent to work at
the site of the flooded railway.
