The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 64
Inside the car.

Feel the impact.

Experienced Liu Qingquan knew that the carriage was correctly hung up without getting out of the car.

Thumbs up to Li Aiguo: "Okay, I said that Lao Cao has two brushes because he likes you."

"It's all because of Master Liu's careful observation."

Li Aiguo chuckled.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and scattered it around.

After striking a match and lighting it, he comfortably spit out a cloud of white mist.

Just after taking two puffs, someone knocked on the car window.

Turn your head and look down.

The dispatcher just now gave a thumbs up: "Okay, it can be done in one go, saving me a lot of effort. The carriage has been connected, and we can set off. I wish you the best of luck!"

After Li Aiguo waved to him, he sat down firmly, blew his horn, relieved himself, pushed the handle forward, released the small brake, and pulled the valve.

The steam engine dragged twenty carriages, galloping on the black railroad tracks at a speed of forty yards like a beast.

The destination is Beijing Railway Station, and the task is to load passengers.

The capital railway station at this time is not the capital railway station of later generations.

Instead, it is located at the Qianmen Station outside the west wall of the Outer Altar of the Temple of Heaven.

Qianmen Station has a history of one hundred years.

The name before liberation was Beiping East Railway Station.

After liberation, Beiping East Station was renamed as Jingcheng Station.

Jingcheng Railway Station is the largest railway station in China.

At the same time, it undertakes the starting and ending tasks of Beijing-Tianjin, Jingshan, Jingtong, Jinggu, Jingsui, Jinghan and other railways.

There are more than 30000 passengers boarding and disembarking trains every day.

There are also several trains to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, which can be regarded as a busy railway station.

Li Aiguo had taken the train before, and also played in the capital railway station.

European-style buildings stand on the large square.

The tall bell tower and the circular arc top are incompatible with the surrounding Chinese buildings.

The square in front of the station was full of people, and it was very lively.

Looking at the railway station from the cab is a completely different feeling.

In the limited field of vision, there are all black rails.

Under the driving of Li Aiguo, the steam locomotive slowly stopped on the platform.

The flight attendants opened the door of the carriage, and the passengers who had been waiting for a long time poured into the carriage.

At this time, as a train driver, Li Aiguo couldn't relax.

I checked the dashboard again to make sure that all the pointers were within the normal range before I could take a short rest.

After several 10 minutes of running-in, Li Aiguo also gradually integrated into the small group of three.

Taking advantage of the spare time, we smoked and chatted.

After a brief chat, Li Aiguo learned that Master Zheng, the fireman, was originally named Zheng Jing, had five children, and his family lived in Niuma Hutong not far from the courtyard house.

After Zheng Jing learned that Li Aiguo lived in a courtyard house, he became more enthusiastic.

"Patriotic, you became a train driver right after graduation, your future is boundless."

"Damn, the train runs fast, it all depends on you lighting the fire behind."

Li Aiguo said: "Take our train as an example. The one-way distance of the railway track from Beijing to Jincheng is 153 kilometers, and the average speed of the bus is 35 kilometers per hour."

"You probably have to put in more than 2700 shovels of coal, which is about 28 tons of coal."

Master Zheng shovels coal all day long, and has never counted the amount of coal shoveled.

Hearing this number, he was taken aback for a moment, then widened his eyes and said, "No way, there are so many?"

"After you count it, it will be clear?" Li Aiguo laughed.

The co-driver Liu Qingquan also became interested, smoking a cigarette and said, "That's right, Lao Zheng will count it later."

It's bustling.

The door was pushed open from the inside.

It was Bai Yuejie, the conductor of the train, who came in.

She smiled all over her face: "Master Xiao Li, your skills are really good, and I, the conductor of the train, can save a lot of worry in the future."

"It's about time, don't you see?"

Li Aiguo glanced at the time, and there were still 5 minutes until the departure time.

Nodding with a smile: "Now you can tell the flight attendants to close the doors, and the train will leave on time."

Two 10 minutes.

The train leaves the capital.

Rows of tube buildings were gradually replaced by low adobe thatched houses, and whitewashed slogans were painted on the walls of the courtyard.

In the green wheat field, the members of the commune were working hard. When they heard the roar of the train, they raised their heads one after another, with envy in their eyes.

Children playing next to them will follow the train for a distance.

The train travels another [-] to [-] kilometers, leaving the outskirts of Beijing, and the surrounding area becomes even more desolate.

On both sides of the railway, there are bare fields, which appear empty and quiet.

The black train, with bursts of black smoke, gallops on the rails, looking very spectacular.

"The next stop is Tongzhou Chadao Station. Passengers who get off the bus, please get ready. We are the 131 youth package crew of the Beijing Locomotive Depot. I wish you a pleasant journey."

Zhang Yazhi's crisp voice came from the radio.

The co-driver, Master Liu, reminded: "Comrade driver, we are about to enter the station, please get ready!"

He leaned out and looked ahead, reporting a distance number.

Li Aiguo calculated the data instantly in his mind, and slowly pulled the valve to reduce the speed of the car.

When approaching the entrance, a signal appeared not far in front of the track.

Master Liu leaned out again to confirm the signal: "The signal is open, you can enter the station."

Li Aiguo said in accordance with the regulations: "The signal is open, the second pass."

Master Liu repeated: "The signal is open, and the second channel is passed."

The train passed the signal smoothly and slowly entered the station.

Li Aiguo calculated the distance, pulled down the air valve, and the train finally stopped accurately at the station.

The door of the carriage opened, and the passengers who had been waiting by the door for a long time jumped out of the car impatiently, and the passengers who boarded the car formed a long queue in front of the door.

Tongzhou Chadao Station is a small station, and it needs to stop for 10 minutes. Li Aiguo also took the opportunity to release the water.

"Master Liu, pay attention to the dashboard, I'll go to the toilet."

"Okay, ye just put it in your belly."

Master Liu nodded cheerfully.

Since the toilet door of the ordinary car needs to be locked after entering the station, Li Aiguo can only go to the camping car to borrow the toilet.

The campervan is the compartment where the crew and drivers rest. It is located at the rear of the car and needs to go through the entire train.

In this era of lack of means of transportation, almost no flights, and few long-distance buses, the train has become a tool for people to travel long distances.

The carriage was full of people, Li Aiguo took a look and felt that the occupancy rate had reached 120%.

Even so, the door of the carriage was still crowded with people preparing to get on the train, and the flight attendants stood at the door to check the tickets and letters of introduction one by one.

Seeing Li Aiguo passing by, they all greeted each other: "Driver Li, thank you for your hard work."

They are all sincere when they say this.

An excellent train driver can accurately park the train at the designated position on the platform, and they don't need to move the pedals on and off the train.

Each pedal weighs seventy or eighty catties, and it is really difficult for these flight attendant girls to lift it.

Li Aiguo greeted and walked back, and when he got to the No.11 car, he suddenly heard a quarrel.

"Comrade, you are not in compliance with the regulations. The address on the letter of introduction is Fengtai, but the bus ticket is to Langfang."

"I spent money to buy a ticket, you don't care where I go, the little girl is beautiful, but she has a lot of things to do!"

"Comrade, please be serious. There are regulations on our trains. The address on the letter of introduction and the ticket must be the same."

"I'm starting to drive, I'm not convinced today, and there's a car I can't get into, Huang Simao!"
