The public welfare "slow train" in the depth of Daxinganling

The k7170 train, which runs between Manzhouli, Hailar and Genhe River, is a green train. Along the way, it passes through moldoga, Manzhouli, Hailar, and then turns back to Manzhouli. At last, it reaches Genhe station, where there are more than 30 small stations, and it takes more than 40 hours to stop.

this "slow train" provides convenience for the life and travel of the residents in the deep forest and pastoral areas of Daxinganling Mountains. In addition to going out for medical treatment, due to the cold weather, many vegetables in the Genhe area are unable to grow. The local people have to go to Hailar to purchase and bring back fresh vegetables. Since January 2018, k7170 train has also specially opened the train line to Manzhouli area, so as to facilitate passengers' transfer and travel to different places. A 6031 a 6031 all the way forward, the beautiful scenery is boundless along the way. On the train, there are women with families, old couple who go out to visit their relatives, and children who return home from work. The passengers on the train are of all kinds. The full load of parcels is big and small. The carriage is full of people who don't know each other. They talk in three words. Although the voices are noisy, they are particularly warm in the late autumn in the north. Liu Shufen, a 6031
passenger, lives in Hailar with her son. Her daughter works in Manzhouli. She often takes the k7170 train to and from the two places to take care of her children. "It's OK to buy a ticket. Take the bus to the railway station and get off. You can go when you buy a ticket." Cheap, convenient and good service make her an "acquaintance" of the train. At the same time, Baiyang, a tourist who went to Hailar to find friends, also saw k7170 as clean, comfortable, safe and reliable, especially because of its low price and high cost performance, which made it difficult for the young man to "refuse". As the passenger said, the ticket price is only 15.5 yuan for nearly 200 kilometers from Manzhouli to Hailar. And 530 kilometers from Manzhouli to Genhe, a hard seat is 43 yuan, equivalent to only 8 cents per kilometer.

although the ticket price is low, the service quality on the train is not low. In order to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers, the stewards have paid more sweat and effort. According to Zhang Xuesong, the chief conductor of the train, the biggest difficulty of k7170 operation is to use a boiler to heat it in winter. In the cold winter of more than - 50 ℃, it is also necessary to find a way to ensure that the average temperature in the car is above 20 ℃. At the same time, it is also listed as the service standard to ensure that each batch of bedding is completely replaced and the carriages are kept clean, so as to "turn this green train into a boutique small train". The equipment on the

old train is unavoidably old. In order to ensure the operation safety, the k7170 is also equipped with the "doctor" accompanying the train, that is, the train inspector. Coal fired boilers, electric fans, half open windows, these old objects that gradually retired from the stage of history are still "in service" on small slow cars. Every time when accompanying the crew, the steward Jiao Guoqiang will inspect, inspect and test the car again and again. When parking, you need to get out of the car to check whether the car body is tilted, smoking, etc. In addition, the passenger train water is also a major maintenance. Jiao Guoqiang said that to ensure the use of coal-fired tea stoves, there should be sufficient boiled water for passengers to drink at any time, and to ensure that the train washroom, toilet water valve and water pipeline are unblocked to ensure the water demand of passengers. He sticks to the principle of fine inspection and fine repair. With the advent of high-speed railway era, the train models are constantly updated, the speed is faster and faster, and there are fewer and fewer small slow trains like this. However, low ticket price and station stop are the characteristics of public service trains. Slow trains not only carry the fuel, rice, oil and salt of the people along the line, but also carry the important mission of helping to get rid of poverty, which is the reason and value of "slow trains". No matter how many tests, they will be converted into joy. Although the public service train is slow, it will eventually carry more people to the destination of happy life.
