the bell tower. Can the old clock be reused?
the most representative building of the old railway station is the bell tower, and the bell on the clock tower has been accompanied by the Jinan people for more than 80 years. Now, where is the big bell? Can the bell tower be rebuilt if the bell tower is rebuilt?
it is reported that in June 2008, the original bell was found in a warehouse in the Ji'nan Railway Bureau. The four big dial plates of the bell are still there, and the parts of the needle, gear and so on are all intact, but the cast iron base of the bell is broken. People in the railway department said the clock was put here when it was moved in 2002.
earlier, the planning department had said that if the clock could still be used, it would be considered to hang it on the clock tower after rebuilt.
this newspaper has reported to the bell. Mr. Jiang, 82 years old, is calling this newspaper to express his wish to rebuild the bell tower. Originally, he was an old technician. He used to clock the bell tower in 1953, and knew more about his components. If I can reuse old things, I'm very willing to help. Mr. Jiang said.
whether the old building can be built into a small exhibition hall
the old railway station carries too many memories of the Jinan people. Mr. Zhou, who lived near the old railway station from an early age, suggested that the rebuilt old station should be transformed into a small exhibition hall to show the history, information and pictures of the railway station, so that more and more people can understand the past.
it is reported that in addition to the old railway station, there are some old German platform stations in Ji'nan, such as the old station of Huang Tai railway station, the old station of Wan De train station, the old station of ZhangXia Railway Station and so on. If these old station buildings and rebuilt old railway stations are built into small exhibition halls, they will surely attract more people to savor the old railway stations. Mr. Zhou said.
reporters learned that the old railway station was converted into an exhibition hall, and other cities had precedents. Qing Long Qiao Railway Station on Beijing Jing Zhang railway has been exhibited as the first industrial heritage project in Beijing and has been open to the public for a long time. Here, China's oldest rail, 1953 mat, 1907 and 1908 fish tails, old tickets, ticket machines and other precious old objects, as well as many ancient landscapes, the citizens can see, and the waiting room and the ticket hall have also retained the original pattern.
