Where did the train go after it arrived?
Generally speaking
Passenger trains are all back
Train maintenance depots and maintenance yards of related units
It carries passengers after preparation
Return the same way
And after the freight train arrives at the station after unloading
Generally, it will be based on unified command
Sent to loading station
This process is called emptying the car
What is a "Emptying Car"?
Railway emptying cars (or emptying boxes)
It refers to organizing the flow of empty vehicles according to the plan
The purpose is to reload the goods by returning empty vehicles
Efficient use of stock channels to improve production efficiency
When do I need to empty my car?
Geographically
Mainland coal, minerals, etc
Bulk cargo resources
The distribution is not even
In general
When the train takes the coal of the north, etc
After the bulk cargo arrived in the south
There are only some steel, chemical and other goods in the south
It needs to be shipped back to the north
No need to transport bulk cargo
This is what it is
Most of the trucks from the north to the south are heavy trucks
Most of the trucks returning from the south to the north are empty
The resources of the whole train are limited
To put the coal of the north
A steady stream of shipments to the south
It is necessary to put the empty car body in the south
Pull back to the north and reload the car
This is called "empty car north row"
Will empty vehicles return to their original origin?
Trucks and vehicles are transferred uniformly throughout the road
Deploy according to actual shipping needs
It won't be like a passenger car
Return to the departure station by the same route
Which lines are in the return of empty traffic
Played a big role?
All lines can be emptied
Large emptying channel
There are Jingguang Line, Jiaoliu Line, Haoji Line, etc
The Haoji railway is used as a major coal transportation channel
Emptying is more convenient
What are the advantages of Haoji Railway in emptying cars?
Hoji Railway
It is a special coal transportation channel
Do not run passenger cars
Both cable and mostly mixed passenger and cargo running
Especially busy trunk lines such as Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-Kowloon
The flow of passenger cars is large, and trucks should be avoided by buses
The return of empty vehicles is slow, and it normally takes 5-7 days
The return of empty vehicles from the Haoji Line can achieve one-day delivery
The speed of empty vehicle return
Directly affect transportation efficiency
If the empty car does not pick up
It may be possible because there is no car fit
The situation that coal in the north cannot be transported
So the Haoji railway maintains the emptying speed
is very important
