🚂 When mentioning the ‘New National Train,’ many people’s first reaction is the comfortable experience of ‘lying down to travel Xinjiang.’ But behind this train crossing northern and southern Xinjiang, there is a group of silent guardians—the national train drivers. Their work determines whether this journey can arrive at each stop safely, on time, and smoothly.
👨 ✈️ National Train Driver:The ‘Chief Director’ on the Train
National train drivers, known in the railway system as locomotive crew, are professionals who drive trains. Unlike ordinary passengers who only catch a glimpse at the front of the train or on the platform, their work begins before duty and ends only when the train reaches its final destination.
Pre-Duty Preparation:Rest properly as required, undergo alcohol testing, verify driver’s license and work ID, and collect driving tools.
Operation Confirmation:Copy and confirm ‘operation notices’ (such as speed limits, construction information), understand weather and track conditions, and develop emergency plans.
Outbound Inspection:Carefully inspect the condition of all locomotive components, conduct brake tests, and ensure the train is ‘healthy’ for departure.
En-Route Operation: While driving, they must operate the controls, monitor LKJ (train operation recording device) data, observe tracks, signals, catenary wires, and surroundings, strictly follow standardized procedures of ‘hand gestures, visual checks, and verbal commands,’ coordinate with stations, and regularly step on the vigilance device to prevent fatigue driving.
Emergency Response:In case of equipment failure or severe weather, handle calmly according to plans to minimize impact.
A long-distance train often has a ‘dual driver’ or ‘single driver plus assistant driver’ configuration to jointly ensure safe operation.
🛤 ️ Xinjiang Routes:The Driver’s ‘High-Difficulty Exam’
Xinjiang’s vast territory, with railway lines crossing Gobi deserts, sand dunes, and plateaus, tests both the technical skills and mental resilience of train drivers.
Complex Routes:Routes in northern and southern Xinjiang feature many mountainous areas, plateaus, slopes, and curves, requiring handling of long gradients, tunnels, bridges, and harsh environments like sandstorms.
🚂 When mentioning the ‘New National Train,’ many people’s first reaction is the comfortable experience of ‘lying down to travel Xinjiang.’ But behind this train crossing northern and southern Xinjiang, there is a group of silent guardians—the national train drivers. Their work determines whether this journey can arrive at each stop safely, on time, and smoothly.Variable Weather:High summer temperatures, severe winter cold, and strong spring winds can affect track and equipment conditions, requiring drivers to adjust operations based on real-time information.
Great Responsibility:Xinjiang tourist special trains carry large passenger loads, often including elderly travelers, demanding higher standards from drivers in smooth handling, punctual operation, and emergency response.
Therefore, drivers assigned to long-distance tourist special trains like the New National Train are experienced and strictly assessed ‘veteran drivers.’
🛌 Passenger Perspective:Behind the Smooth and Comfortable Ride
For tourists on the New National Train, the most direct feelings are ‘stability’ and ‘worry-free.’
Reduced Transfers:The design concept of tourist special trains is ‘the train moves with the people,’ allowing passengers to rest on the train and wake up at a new destination, avoiding the fatigue of frequent vehicle changes.
Comfortable Experience:The New National Train typically uses 4-person soft sleeper compartments, offering more space and better facilities for a restful long journey.
Guardianship:This comfort and peace of mind come from the train driver’s precise control of every operational detail in the cab. They work in coordination with dispatchers, stations, and mechanics to ensure train operation.
💡 Travel Tips:How to ‘Cooperate Smoothly’ with the Driver
As passengers, although you cannot communicate directly with the driver, you can help maintain a safe and comfortable journey by:
1. Following Rules: Do not run or play in the carriages, and do not touch emergency brake valves or other equipment.
2. Traveling Civilly: Be careful when boarding and alighting, store luggage securely, avoid blocking aisles, and keep emergency exits clear.
3. Heeding Announcements: Pay attention to train broadcasts and staff instructions. If there is a temporary stop or route change, remain patient and do not panic.
