Train inspection and garage repair workers from the Urumqi Railway Administration installed polyvinyl chloride crystal glass on passenger train windows to protect them from fierce gusts of wind.

It is said the new crystal glass made of polyvinyl chloride will prevent windows from breaking into pieces and is acid and alkali-resistant.

Trains running in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region constantly suffer strong wind assaults with sand and stones. Trains and passengers may be in danger if the windows break.

The other side of the train will be not put up with the new glass material. It is left clear for passengers to escape in case of accidents.
图为由聚氯乙稀做的水晶玻璃,既柔韧又透明.这种玻璃很难被打成碎块,而且还耐酸碱。乌鲁木齐铁路局的机车检查和车辆修理工人在客车窗户上安装了聚氯乙稀水晶玻璃，以保护旅客免受猛烈的风暴。据说这种由聚氯乙稀制成的新型水晶玻璃可以阻止车窗下班破成碎块，而且能耐酸碱。运行在新疆维吾尔自治区的火车经常会遇到裹着沙石的强风袭击。如果车窗下班被刮破，火车和旅客都能危险。火车的另一边不会用新玻璃安装，很清楚留下原来的玻璃是为旅客在遇到事故时进行逃逸。
