At 10:43 am on January 13, the 6063 train climbed the Qinling Mountains high slope safely and arrived at Qinling Station on time.

At this time, train driver Wang Wei finally had time, opened the window, and looked for his father in the crowd who got off the train. My father works outside and takes the only charity slow train on the Baocheng Railway every Spring Festival. The difference is that this year is the first time he took the train driven by his son.

"Weiwei's car is really good. He is the pride of our family." On the platform, the reporter saw Wang Wei's father turn around and wave to his son in the cab, and gave him a thumbs up knowingly.

"My home is right there..." Looking at his father's back, Wang Wei pointed to the road opposite Qinling Station and sighed to reporters, "When I was a child, I often stood at the doorstep to watch the train, but now I finally drove the train to the doorstep."

26-year-old Wang Wei is the youngest driver of the Baoqin Locomotive Team in the Qinbei Application Workshop of Xinfeng Town Locomotive Section of China Railway Xi'an Bureau Group Co., Ltd. After only three years of working, he got his driver's license after layers of selection. He was already on more than 320 trains and safely walked more than 53,000 kilometers.

The reporter learned that this was Wang Wei's first time taking on the 6063 bus traction task and becoming the "helmsman" of the largest ramp of the trunk railway in the country.

"Instrument is confirmed, each instrument displays normally!" "Preview signal, preview is ready!" At around 9 a.m. on the 13th, after confirming each signal and operating parameters, Wang Wei and Li Jialong took the 6063 train from Baoji Station, Shaanxi.

The train passed Renjiawan Station of Baocheng Railway and climbed upwards, "crossing the ridge" from the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains.

"When manipulating the train to run on the Baocheng Line, he didn't dare to be distracted for a moment." Wang Wei habitually widened his eyes, "After the Spring Festival travel rush, thousands of passengers were on the bus every day. He wanted to cross the large slope of the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and he didn't dare to blink a few more times."

The Baocheng Line was built in 1958 and is the first railway trunk line connecting the northwest and southwest of my country. From Baoji Station to Qinling Station, the slopes are many sharp and sharp. Although they are only 45 kilometers, there are 58 culverts, 48 ​​tunnels, and 11 large slopes with 30% or more. The train operation is complex and changeable.

"This bus has two locomotives to pull it forward and pull it up the Qinling Mountains together. If it is a truck, it takes 3 locomotives to go up the ridge and push it backward. One locomotive on the head and two locomotives at the rear to ensure sufficient power to go up the mountain and the train is safely 'crossing the ridge'." During the driving, Wang Wei introduced to reporters.

The "replenishment" of different models and parts has different operating requirements for drivers. Wang Wei needs to master three locomotive control methods to achieve accurate operation.

Along the way, Wang Wei drove and Li Jialong assisted in looking out the route and confirming the parameters. According to them, the "Guanyin Mountain Exhibition Line" where the train passes, the lines overlap with 3 layers, and travel in a roundabout way in the shape of three horseshoes and one "8" shape, with a height difference of 817 meters. The slope of the "uphill ridge" is constantly changing. Wang Wei held the brake in his hand and kept adjusting the traction force of the train while stepping on the pedal to "spread sand" to prevent the wheel from idling and slipping.

At 10, when the train approached the line contact network and split the phase, Wang Wei performed the power outage operation as required. Without power, the train speed dropped rapidly, and in just a few seconds, the speed dropped by more than 10 kilometers per hour. It seemed like a critical moment, but he was calm and stared at the route ahead. After the train passed the phase separation, Wang Wei immediately closed the gate and pushed the traction handle.

The train then slowly accelerated and passed through the large slope curve. The reporter saw that a "perfect" speed arc was drawn on the locomotive parameter display.

At Qinling Station, the train stopped for 8 minutes. The driver took off the locomotive and the locomotive connected to the rear, and waited for the flight to the train on the waiting line to make up the flight. Unable to get off the car while waiting, Wang Wei opened his backpack, took out the lunch he had prepared in advance, and stood in the cab.

At around 14:00, the 30,320 truck from Guangyuan, Sichuan arrived at Qinling Station. The train weighed more than 2,000 tons. In order to ensure the safety of going down the mountain, they needed to hang up the "replenishment aircraft" again. Wang Wei told reporters that the "trick" is: "The freight trains in Xialing are mainly 'pressed front and pulled back'. Only when the two locomotives on the head and one locomotive on the back cooperate to control the speed of the train when they go down the mountain."

At 18 o'clock, the train arrived at Baoji East Station, and Wang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The Spring Festival is coming soon, and many fellow villagers working outside have to take a bus home. We must send the fellow villagers home safely, and let them feel the stability and comfort of the train crossing the mountains."
