In the early morning of February 3, the sky was still bright, Huaihua West Marshalling Station was brightly lit, and the whistle sound came one after another in the distance, and the "busy" locomotive and locomotive crew, train inspection, shunting operation personnel, and assistant attendants could be seen everywhere.
(Two-seater locomotive instrument confirmed)
"The forward position of the reversing handle, the green light of the outbound signal, the horizontal two white lights on the left side of the approach indicator go to the direction of the frosted stream, the instruments are displayed normally, and the tail wind pressure is 502Kpa...... It is possible to depart. In the cab of the 7-lane HXD1-1618 locomotive in Huaixi, the train driver Tang Pengcheng and the master Tian Xuelong are methodically making the final preparations before driving.
Tang Pengcheng is a "post-00" co-driver of the Yuhuai Truck Team of the Huaihua Truck Application Workshop of the Huaihua Locomotive Depot, and will join the work in 2021. Master Tian Xuelong is a "veteran driver" with superb business, strong safety awareness and 33 years of driving experience. Coming to the main battlefield of the Spring Festival in 2024, Tang Pengcheng, who was born in the Year of the Dragon, ushered in his first Spring Festival in the Year of the Dragon, and Tian Xuelong, who is about to turn 55, ushered in his last Spring Festival in the post of train driver.
In Tang Pengcheng's psychology, he is very happy to be able to protect the safety of the Spring Festival with his master, and he also cherishes this learning opportunity very much, and he hopes that he can be independent after the master retires.
At about 6 o'clock in the morning, nearly 2 hours before the train start, Tang Pengcheng and Tian Xuelong came to the dispatch room early to complete the preparations such as alcohol testing, verification and disclosure, and departure prediction. I saw two people reading aloud and reciting again, full of tacit understanding, and every action and standard was almost perfect.
"We are the last safety pass before the locomotive goes online, and the running department, pantograph, and machinery room must be carefully inspected, and there must be no sloppiness, and the locomotive must not be allowed to leave the warehouse with potential safety hazards. "After the attendance, after checking the line, into the driver's cab, the machine class carefully identified and called the state of each switch component and instrument, carefully checked each control link, carried out the brake test, after a series of procedures, the locomotive slowly out of the warehouse.
(Double Confirmation Signal)
"The shunting signal is white, the fork tip is sideways, pay attention to the dynamic test. After the signal was opened, I saw that the machine squad stretched out his right hand at the same time, put his index finger and middle finger together, turned his fist to the left, stretched his arm straight, pointed to the signal machine in front, and called out the state of the line ahead. From the outbound trailer to the joint control departure, the two cooperate with each other, strictly control the travel speed, and implement the standard of one-time departure operation. At 7:13, with a clear whistle, a 24,414 freight train loaded with grain, fertilizer and other daily necessities slowly drove out and headed west to Xiushan Station.
"24,414 times, Jinhe Station 2 passed, confirmed. Whenever the station sends a "way notice" during operation, Tang Pengcheng will confirm the display on the wireless dispatching communication equipment of the train verbatim, prompting the driver to pass or stop at the station in front of him. Whenever approaching the signal, he will call the signal to display the status of the hand, and in case of key phase manipulation, key station stopping, key ramp start, temporary speed limit control, he will move the driver's side in advance, assist the driver to lookout, keep an eye on the speed and braking timing, and strengthen the horn to do a good job of mutual control.
"I'm going to retire after running this Spring Festival, I can't take you with me in the future, you have to hurry up and consolidate your business." When he noticed that Tang Pengcheng still had an inaccurate grasp of the key operation links and did not understand it thoroughly, Tian Xuelong was a little anxious, took out the "housekeeping skills", skillfully waved the handle of the motor, patiently demonstrated the correct operation steps for the apprentices, mastered the principle of action of each component, and was eager to teach what he had learned. Tang Pengcheng did not disappoint the master, he learned while understanding, learning and changing, and soon entered the role.
At 11 o'clock, the train finally arrived at Xiushan Station 4.
"The sand pipe on the left 1 is normal, and the sand pipe on the left 2 is normal......" Tang Pengcheng is seriously inspecting the locomotive running department, cooperating with the driver to carry out the sand test and check the connection status of the locomotive and vehicle, and do a good job in labor safety protection.
(Locomotive Machinery Room Inspection)
"Trains have an end, and safety knows no bounds. Although the train has arrived, we must carefully check the locomotive, know the performance and working condition of the locomotive, and hand over the locomotive with good quality to the locomotive crew of Chengdu Bureau. Tang Pengcheng said firmly.
Returning to Xiushan Apartment, after completing the check-out procedures, looking at the busy figure of the apprentice, Master Tian patted the apprentice's shoulder, took out the New Year's "gift" prepared in advance, and said: "This notepad contains the work notes and experience summary over the years, and now I will give it to you, you must learn and use it!"
The sudden "New Year's gift" made Tang Pengcheng a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly took the "treasure book" in the master's hand, and his flushed cheeks were full of excitement and gratitude.
Tang Pengcheng told reporters, "The master not only taught me the skills, but more importantly, passed on his perseverance and meticulous spirit in his work to me, and I will definitely live up to my expectations and strive to become an excellent train driver like the master." ”
