A photo of a "train spray" can be excited for several months, those who chase the train 丨 share before going to bed

Chen Zhize is an out -of -the -box railway fan.

Last year, he went to Lanzhou with his wife and rented an off -road vehicle in the local area. On the last day of the trip, the two thought about where to go shopping. Chen Zhize checked the map and suddenly said to his wife: Otherwise, let's go to see the train!

It's like a romantic escape. They drove onto the highway, reached an inaccessible intersection, and then drove forward to an abandoned construction site. The ground potholes and dust were flying. Not far next to it, the yellow rivers flowing passed by. Some staff members stopped his car and asked where they were going. "It's come to travel." Chen Zhize replied. "How can there be any attractions to see?" The staff was stunned.

Chen Zhize's railway across the Yellow River

Chen Zhize parked the car not far from the bank and operated his drone. Looking down from high altitude, there are mountains in the distance, and the Yellow River under the feet. A railway passes through the river water, turning one curve and intersecting two cross -river bridge. A freight train passed by, and the blue, white, red, and orange containers were connected together. "It's so beautiful." The wife said.

For a lot of railway fans like Chen Zhize, this is just a happy moment in the process of chasing the train.

Why do they like the train?

Zhu Li has an opportunity to become a railway fan because of a ticket.

During the college, he and his friends went out to travel. When he returned, he took a train from Qingdao to Hefei South. He stopped in Jinan halfway. After a grandma got on the car, she saw them on the G248 ticket on the small table, and suddenly said to him: Are you on the wrong car? He was blinded all of a sudden, how could he get on the wrong car? They got on the car from Qingdao. The grandmother pointed to the ticket in her hand, which was a ticket for G245.

Later, Zhu Li asked the flight attendant to know that this was a train that switched up and down. From Qingdao to Jinan, it was a ticket to sell G248. Jinan to Hefei South was a ticket for the downlink of G245, but the trains were the same. The number has changed.

After returning to school, Zhu Li began to join many QQ groups and WeChat group where railway fans were located. The train and railway system that was used to it was actually a machine that was such a precise operation, and it was even like a delicate and charming detailed branch.

There are also many railway fans' love for trains starting from childhood.

Li Ran is from Beihai, Guangxi, and studies in Hefei. When he was five or six years old, Beihai had only one railway. His father always rode a large motorcycle and took him to the North Sea Railway Station from the small door. The motorcycle stopped the platform. Dad carried Li Ran on his shoulders and watched the train with him. At that time, the trains were basically internal combustion "big giants". They looked very primitive and had the natural attraction of industrialization to children. Later, Li Ran went to the family of relatives in Heshan. There were many coal mines in Heshan, and there were a lot of branch railways transporting coal mines. He could see the train passing by the window. The sound was very loud. Essence "For children, this kind of thing is actually very exciting, do you know?" Li Ran said.

The grandfather of Wu Chongyuan, the post -85th guy, was once a train captain of the Hangzhou ship section (now Hangzhou Passenger Section). When he was a child, he always begged his grandfather to take him to various railway stations in Hangzhou to see the train. Over time, the train has also become a thought in my heart.

At the age of 18, Wu Chongyuan went to Nanchang to study in college. Nanchang is an important railway hub in central China. Frequent winter and summer vacations have a lot of opportunities to travel by train alone and fascinates the railway. At that time, the national railway had not yet implemented Internet purchase tickets. Whenever the holiday came, students often had to go to the offline train ticket sales point or the station window to line up all night.

Steam train spitting time

"The ticket is too difficult to buy, and sometimes it didn't take long for it to be on sale, and there was no ticket to me!" Wu Chongyuan couldn't help but talk to his friends. There is a train ticket sales point in the school. He thought that "entering the internal" may be able to get more tickets to buy tickets, and he told the person in charge that he could help sell tickets, or even pay for it.

As a railway fan, Wu Chongyuan, who has served as a part -time ticket seller, has a unique advantage. Because he was very delicate about the trains, he was often able to plan the optimal travel route for passengers. At that time, he could even carry out where and where did the bus drive from? A maximum of six or seven hundred tickets can be sold.

Once Wu Chongyuan worked at the selling point, he was about to closing the window. A hometown of a classmate in Inner Mongolia hurriedly came to say that she went home to grab the ticket for several days, but found nothing, and asked him to help think of ways. Wu Chongyuan looked at the ticketing system. From Nanchang to Inner Mongolia, there were relatively few direct vehicles, and the tickets were really tense. "Later, I helped her think of a complete set of transit connection solutions, first from Nanchang to Beijing, and then from Beijing seamless to Inner Mongolia.

After the winter vacation, the classmate of Inner Mongolia brought his hometown specialty milk slices to sell Wu Chongyuan on behalf of him, and said he would like to thank him. "I asked her to give her the classmates present. At that moment, I felt particularly fulfilling in my heart. As a railway fan, I could help so many classmates. It was really useful to learn." Wu Chongyuan said. It was also since then that he consciously saved the electronic schedule of the national railway every year, and it took a lot of effort to collect data from 2003 to 2010 stored in the hard disk. Maybe in the future, it will become a precious one file. How do they chase the train?

As long as Chen Zhize is free, he will spend time browsing a railway forum. Different people "chase the train" in different ways in this gathered gathered place for the Great God.

Some people collect railway models, some people take photos and videos of various trains, some people study different models, some people are obsessed with "operation" (ie, ride of train) and line planning, and some people study tickets.

Many railway fans are keen to share knowledge. "There is a great god very hard work. After the opening of a railway, he will check a lot of information, extend from the railway, explain the historical revolution and social changes through the site. The academic papers. "Chen Zhize lamented.

In addition, the changes in the operating railway, such as encryption, changes in timetables, adjustment of running routes, extension of operating range, etc., will cause many discussions among railway fans. Also, in the future, the line to be built in the future will be built Planning is also the focus of everyone's attention.

Drive out of the high -speed rail of Hefei Station

In the WeChat group where Zhu Li is located, railway fans will download the environmental assessment report of the new line from the government website to try to find a new discovery from it: the turning radius is 7500 meters, which shows that the design speed of this line may be 350 kilometers per hour/ In hour, if it is 3500 meters, this means that the line design may be 250 km/h. Some places may be lower than the design standards, which means that this section is a speed limit section. Signal system, dredging zone, ruler, line settlement, curvature radius ... Terities are spoken from Zhu Li's mouth.

In the era of high -speed railways, too many new creations have fascinated them.

For the post -80s Wu Chongyuan, the era of green leather cars may be even more worthy of nostalgia. During the student period, he tried his best to buy the cheapest ticket to take the farthest road. As soon as the window opened, he passed into his ears slowly, while blowing the natural style, and chatting with strange passengers on the opposite side, becoming the pingshui meeting. Partner. "The high -speed rail is too quiet. In the carriage, everyone wears headphones to listen to music, brush the iPad, and lacks the interest of face -to -face communication. The trains we want to pursue may not be just like this." Wu Chongyuan said frankly.

Today, internal combustion and electric locomotives are the mainstream of domestic trains. What Wu Chongyuan wants to pursue is an almost extinct steam train. "The steam train placed in the park is a display product. For me, these cars are 'dead'. Without anger, I want to find a living steam train." Wu Chongyuan said that in the past ten years, he has been in the past ten years. He has been to Chifeng in Inner Mongolia, Fuxin, Liaoning, Surabaya in Shandong, Silver Silver, Hami, Xinjiang, and follow the last batch of steam trains in my country. While those trains are still "alive", record the final whistle, take good photos and videos , Reserve a "identity certificate" for each car.

Steam train taken by Wu Chongyuan

One winter, he "chased the train" in San Daoling Town, Hami, Xinjiang. There, steam locomotives still bear the function of coal mines. To his surprise, in addition to the domestic railway fans, San Daoling attracted many foreign railway fans, all came to chase the steam locomotive.

The most exciting part of the steam train is the moment of "train fire". When the night comes, when it is climbing, the driver often droves the horsepower to the maximum, and the coal with insufficient combustion becomes a Mars spray. It is not a cigarette, but a real flame, which is dazzling. Wu Chongyuan squatted for a whole week and was lucky to take a group of photos. A Belgian railway next to him said envy: I have been squatting here for three months, and I haven't taken a good scene like you. "I was so excited that day, and this photo made me excited for several months." Now, when he says, his voice is happy.

What is their most impressive?

From the perspective of the younger generation of railway fans, chasing high -speed rail trains is already interesting enough.

Li Ran carefully studied every high -speed rail model, and the trains that were almost the same in the eyes of ordinary people were completely different in his opinion. Take a car from Fuxing, for example, after a period of time, it has made a lot of improvements. The original prototype seat was widened, but after the official launch, the pitch was reduced a bit in order to increase passenger capacity. Adjustment.

Inside the vehicle carriage of Fuxing.

Zhu Li is keen on punching a new line, such as the opening of the Jiu section of the Beijing -Hong Kong high -speed railway and the Shanghehang High -speed Railway. Last year, the first ring railway of the Yangtze River Delta was opened, and it was deployed from Hefei South. Zhu Lite went to the train. On that day, there were also reporters on the car. Railway fans.

"New generation" train fans prefers novel communication methods. For example, Zhu Li and his friends recorded different trains: "Ladies, gentlemen, welcome you to take this EMU train." In the same paragraph, there may be different "effects" on different trains. In Jilin Yanbian's Korean autonomous prefecture, vehicles arranged from Korean autonomous states have Korean reports. Some trains in Yunnan have the language broadcast of local ethnic minorities ... He cut these radio sounds into a video, and received a lot of response online, and there were people. The experience of shooting the "immersive" ride of the first perspective was sent to social platforms such as Douyin and Weibo. "Our generation is a little more interested in high -speed railway. Older railway fans may pursue the beauty of the industry and the beauty of the power of the old train. , Witness the power of transportation, "Zhu Li said.

Under the setting sun, through the high -speed rail of the West Ring Road of Hefei Hub, and the landmark buildings in the distance in the distance.

In particular, the railway fans on the triangle are the most impressive of the high -speed rail network.

Twenty years ago, Wu Chongyuan's father took him to play from Hangzhou to Jiaxing. He remembered that it took about two hours to take a green leather train about 90 kilometers. In October 2010, the Shanghai -Hangzhou high -speed rail was opened to traffic, and the fastest from Hangzhou to Jiaxing only took 23 minutes. Twenty years ago, from Hangzhou Station to Shanghai Station, you can take the "Xizi" double -layer trains. This was the fastest choice between Shanghai and Hangzhou at that time. It took two hours to keep in one stop. Today, from Hangzhou East Station to Shanghai Hongqiao Station, the "Fuxing" high -speed rail can reach the fastest 45 minutes. In 2003, there were only 48 trains from Hangzhou to Shanghai. In recent years, the Shanghai -Hangzhou Online has more than 200 pairs of trains on the peak period, and basically can be taken away.

The increase in speed and the increase in the number of times have spawned many cross -city office workers and sang the "double cities". The "Yangtze River Delta on the orbit" is still accelerating the construction. The Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration will connect more closely through the large traffic arteries, and there is no distance within the Yangtze River Delta.

For many railway fans, they will also have more new stories that can be pursued.
