Time ｜ Zhang Yue: Look at the train

Wen/Zhang Yue

In the evening, with the sound of the whistle, a freight train passed by not far away, and I took out my mobile phone to take a video of the train. In an instant, my thoughts returned to watching the train many years ago.

It was in the mid -to -late 1970s, and there were no trains in my hometown. Whenever they go to the aunt's house in Neijiang City, most of the adults will "reward" us a beautiful thing and take us a group of baby to watch the train from Meijiashan, not far from the aunt's house. A lot of old schools were scattered at the heights and sat on the ground, waiting for the train to drive from the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway under the mountain.

Waiting for the left and right, when we lost patience, I suddenly heard the sound of "whine" trains from the distance. The adults immediately became nervous and greeted us to sit up quickly. Pay attention to it, otherwise you will miss it. Our emotions were ignited at once. As the train from far and near, we roughly clearly clearly look at the train: a train with white smoke, pulling a long string of black lacquered compartments, Ho La drove from the railway, painted into bright red ones The wheels of the locomotive rotated quickly and were particularly eye -catching.

At the same time as we look at the train to traffic intently, adults are busy with the number of cars. They look very nervous and very serious, for fear of missing a section. When we first saw the train, we were naturally very excited. I felt that the train was too long and amazing. It was much more prestigious than the car. Although the car was still "rare" in my hometown at that time, it was rare to see the car once a year and a half. Come. As soon as there was a car, we were like a holiday. However, after seeing the momentum of the train, I felt that the train had obviously stamped the car.

The train soon drove away, and we were excited. Of course, if time permits, adults will wait patiently to wait for the next bus, so that we will be full of eyes. If you are lucky, you can see that the carriage is a green -looking passenger train. It is better to look better than the black freight train.

The aunt's family worked in a machine tool factory and belonged to a monthly salary family. The conditions are relatively good than that of our relatives who live in small towns and rural areas. Therefore, whenever the aunt's house has important festive things, our group of relatives will start from his hometown, helping the elderly with the young and swarming to Neijiang for a few days.

At that time, the traffic was extremely inconvenient. On the day of the departure to Neijiang, I had to get up at around 4 am, hurry up and wash and clean up. The old and younger family raised the burden of chickens, ducks, eggs and other souvenirs that could not be eaten. The long team rushed to the dock and took the only passenger ship to start at 5:30 in the morning.

There are only a few rough cloths as curtains and wind -free passenger ships. After trying the "bombing" of the noise of more than 5 hours of turbines, it reached a place called white horse. There is still a journey from Neijiang, either transfer to a bus or walking.

In order to save car tickets for 3 cents per person, adults often choose to walk. Walking along the railway is a relatively straight and shorter way. Now I want to come, a group of old and small walking along the railway is a very dangerous thing. Adults listened to the movement of the train while walking. Once the sound of the train whistle comes from a distance, they immediately greeted everyone to go down the track, stop at the edge of the road base, and continue to leave after the train drives over.

When the train is out of time, the wind is strong, and the sound is like thunder. Adults are afraid that our children will be blown down by the wind, and we will specifically ask us to squat. Every time I go to Neijiang City, it is a "compulsory course" to see the train at Meijiashan; it is a great opportunity to observe the train from the railway from Baima to Neijiang along the railway.

The situation of watching the train in Neijiang naturally became an important talk for our babies to brag with friends after returning. Seeing the fleeting lights in the train compartment, we will imagine it. Who are the car? Where do they go? I am also envious and desire, thinking about when I go back to the train at that time to see a different world outside.

Coincidentally, two of us have become railway workers in the baby who watched the train in Meijia Mountain. In their career, they continued our trains perfectly.
