Start from Luoyang County in the morning, go up along the Jialing River all the way, arrive at Xujiaping Railway Style Town in 20 minutes, the town is located about 17 kilometers northwest of Luoyang County, because there are people surnamed Xu living in the early years of the town, this place is named because of this.
The town is like a bright pearl, embedded in the Qinling Mountains. Xujiaping Station is a small station on the Baocheng Railway, mainly to ensure the temporary stop of the train, of course, there is also a round-trip slow train from Baoji to Guangyuan, which will stop here every day.
Stepping into the town, the morning sun shines on the railway tracks, like the long scroll of the years slowly unfolding in front of you, meandering, telling the past and present of China's railway development. On both sides of the tracks, there is already a lot of greenery, and the old railway complements each other, drawing a unique and gorgeous picture.
Walking along the railway, you can deeply feel the deep precipitation of history and the mottled traces of time. The locomotive of the train stands proudly on the tracks, as if ready to start again.
想起去年的冬天，南方天气寒冷，动车无法顺利运行，就出现了绿皮火车的火车头，牵引着动车前行的画面。
There are also some green trains on display in the town, and the interior of the carriages has been kept as it was, and walking in it immediately reminds us of the slow progress of the steam train in the past.
There are also some carriages that have been carefully renovated, and you can gather around to eat hot pot and drink coffee. There are also some cars that have been directly renovated into small supermarkets, where various items are displayed. It skillfully blends the train elements with the current lifestyle.
There are also various display boards and detailed explanations, which vividly explain the development process and major events of the railway, so that people have a deeper understanding of this history. In particular, the construction and development of the Baocheng Railway are detailed in the Baocheng Railway Culture Museum. You can learn about the glorious history of the Baocheng Railway people who stick to Xujiaping to open the mountain and guide the road, guard the road and protect the industry, and prosper the town with the road.
After visiting the Xujiaping Railway Town. From afar, you can see that the local vegetable market is near the community. Whenever we go to a place, we always like to go to the vegetable market to see if there are any fruits we like, and also to see the local special vegetables.
There are many people who sell toons here, and there are also those who sell origami roots. Most of the vegetable sellers are elderly people, and they say: "These vegetables are grown on a small piece of land on a nearby hillside, and they were picked from the ground this morning, and they are relatively fresh." And the price is also very cheap. ”
As we walked, we suddenly noticed chimneys sticking out of the glass windows of many buildings, and some wood was neatly stacked in the corners of the walls downstairs. We wondered, could it be that they were cooking on the balcony of their own house with firewood?
When we met an old man, we asked him, "Why is there some firewood piled up in front of every house?"
He told us: "These buildings were built by the government and distributed to the relocated households in the surrounding mountainous areas, because there is no heating in the buildings, and the temperature in the mountains is relatively low, so most of them rely on firewood for heating, and some families are better equipped with air conditioning." ”
But because they all moved out of the mountains, they also lost their land, so the young people had to go outside to work, and the old people could not go into the mountains to farm, because now most of their land was planted with trees, and there were many wild boars in the mountains, even if they planted some crops, they would be spoiled by wild boars, so they simply did not farm.
The old man was specialized in the purchase of medicinal materials, he said: "There is no idle grass in the Qinling Mountains, there are treasures everywhere, and there are many precious medicinal plants distributed in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, such as eucommia, magnolia, Taibai rice, unifolium and so on. Most of the medicinal herbs he bought were picked from the mountains by nearby villagers. Most of the villagers can only rely on going into the mountains to collect some medicinal herbs to subsidize their families, which can be regarded as relying on the mountains to eat the mountains.
Fortunately, they are surrounded by the Xujiaping Railway Town, and there are many tourists who often come here, which also increases their extra income. Of course, the living environment and conditions are much better now than living in the mountains in the past. Whether it is children going to school or the elderly seeking medical treatment, it is much more convenient than in the past.
The Green Train represents an era that has become a memory for many people. How many people have been taken out of the mountains by the green train and into the outside world.
Moving from the deep mountains to the unified resettlement community of residents, the people here have also achieved a leap in the times, and they have guarded this green mountains and rivers with this town, living their own quiet and comfortable life.
