Original title: Self-heating hot pot and durian cannot be brought on trains? How to carry food on railway travel? Find out in one article
At present, the 2024 summer travel season has come to an end. As major colleges and universities start classes one after another, the railway will usher in a peak in the number of students returning to school. As we all know, many dangerous items cannot be carried on trains, such as firearms and ammunition, controlled knives, poisons, etc. However, you may not know that some items that are very common in our daily lives and seem to have no safety risks cannot actually be brought on trains, or they need to meet certain specific conditions to be carried. For example, many people love durian, stinky tofu and other foods with pungent odors.
Recently, in Jinhua, Zhejiang, passenger Ms. Liu was traveling with her friends. She wanted to bring some fruit to eat on the bus, but she carried unsealed durian and was stopped by security personnel when entering the station.
After persuasion and publicity from security inspectors and police officers, Ms. Liu gave up the idea of bringing durian on the train and prepared to ask her family to come to the station to pick it up.
At Yulin Railway Station in Shaanxi Province, a passenger was stopped by security personnel and police when he brought unsealed stinky tofu into the station and boarded a train.
The Railway Passenger Transport Regulations stipulate that "items that are harmful to public health or that can damage or contaminate the vehicle are not allowed to be carried on board."
In the "List of Prohibited, Restricted and Checked Items for Railway Passengers", "items with strong pungent odors or foul odors" are listed as prohibited items for checked and carried-on. Unsealed durian, stinky tofu and other foods with strong odors are not allowed to be brought on board.
Liu Hongxing, a police officer at the Jinan West Railway Station Police Station of the Jinan Railway Public Security Bureau: Normally, foods such as durian, stinky tofu, and snail noodles can be brought on board, but they need to be well sealed and cannot be eaten in the carriage. After all, the carriage is a closed environment. Passengers will be tired during long-distance travel, and smelling such strong irritating odors may cause other passengers to feel dizzy, nauseous, or even vomit. When passengers travel on long-distance trains, we also recommend that they do not carry large amounts of food, especially food that cannot be stored for a long time. The weather has been hot recently, and food is particularly prone to spoilage. After spoilage, it smells bad and can also damage the body.
Heating packs for self-heating food are not allowed on trains
With the rise of self-heating foods, convenient and delicious self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice have been sought after and loved by the majority of passengers. However, self-heating foods whose main raw material is magnesium-aluminum powder in the heating pack may produce a large amount of gas during the heating process, causing thick smoke to trigger the alarm and even cause the high-speed train to slow down. Therefore, these heating packs are not allowed to be brought on board trains.
At Tongliao Railway Station in Inner Mongolia, a passenger named Zhang brought a self-heating hot pot containing a heating pack into the station and was stopped by staff at the security check.
The same thing happened in Suifenhe, Heilongjiang. A passenger named Liu wanted to bring self-heating rice containing heating packs into the station and get on the train, but was stopped by staff at the security check.
Why can't you bring heating packs for self-heating rice, self-heating hot pot and other foods on the train? Because the heat of self-heating foods comes from quicklime, iron powder, aluminum powder and other ingredients in the heating pack. The heat released after contact with water can reach more than 100 degrees Celsius. This rapid heat release process may cause the container to deform, rupture or even explode. In addition, a damaged heating pack may release a large amount of heat, causing a safety accident.
Police officer Fang Qiang from the Passenger Police Detachment of the Tongliao Railway Public Security Bureau said: There are regulations on trains that prohibit the carrying of some dangerous and flammable items, including some self-heating foods and heating equipment. At the same time, there are many people in the train compartments. If an accident occurs with self-heating foods, serious burns will occur. Self-heating foods (may) produce a large amount of gas during the heating process, especially in a closed environment such as a high-speed rail, which will cause thick smoke to trigger the alarm and cause the train to slow down.
If you carry too much liquor, you will not be allowed to enter the station or board the train.
Foods with strong pungent odors and heating packs for self-heating foods cannot be brought on trains. In addition, there is another item that everyone is concerned about, which is restricted from being carried on board, and that is liquor. What are the specific regulations regarding the carrying of liquor?
Recently, at Shangzhi South Railway Station in Heilongjiang Province, security personnel discovered that two male passengers were carrying excessive amounts of liquor into the station to board the train. The amount of liquor carried by the two passengers far exceeded the prescribed limit of 3,000 milliliters, and they were stopped by the police.
At Yiyang South Railway Station in Hunan, a passenger named Mr. Lu was carrying a bottle of bulk liquor and was stopped by station security personnel during the station security check.
The police patiently explained to Mr. Lu that he could choose to abandon the bottle or notify relatives and friends to take it back. Mr. Lu immediately agreed to abide by the rules and gave up the bottle of liquor to get on the bus.
Passengers who bring liquor into the station or board the train must comply with the "List of Prohibited, Restricted and Checked Items for Railway Passengers". The liquor carried should be sealed and clearly marked, and the alcohol concentration should be greater than 24 degrees and not exceed 70 degrees, and the total amount should not exceed 3,000 milliliters.
Li Pengfei, Mudanjiang Railway Public Security Bureau, Mudanjiang Station Police Station: There are restrictions on the carrying of liquor on the train. Bulk liquor is prohibited, but a maximum of 6 bottles of sealed original liquor, which is what we encounter in daily life, can be brought on the train, each bottle contains 500 ml. In addition, unopened red wine can be brought on the train, but homemade rice wine and yellow wine are not allowed. At the same time, we often receive some consultation calls from passengers, asking whether seafood and other items can be brought on the train. It is clearly written in the regulations that fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, and mollusks as food and packaged in closed boxes can be carried and must be properly stored.
