to us, \u201cPut the food in first, then find a hook, put the lunch box into a coal-fired combustion chamber- the lunch box will burn red in two or three minutes. Then find a basin of water, put the lunch box into water to cool it down, open the lid, the food will be cooked.\u201d In recent years, The locomotive has been installed with microwave oven which makes it very convenient for locomotive crew to cook meals; but what I did not expect was the cooking method of steam locomotive was so primitive and clever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">An anecdote: Once, Master Zhang\u2019s father came back from the work to Shenzhen and put the laundry soap bought back from Hong Kong with some person\u2019s help into the lunch box. Out of curiosity, Maser Zhang secretly opened the lunch box and dipped some \u201cfood\u201d from the lunch box, he wanted to taste the food- thank god it did not harm him for a bit, but he almost swallowed the laundry soap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This lunch box carried all the expectations of Master Zhang from childhood to adulthood. After he dropped out of school in the fifth grade, he had started bring meals with this lunch box to his father. As he recalled, the station track distribution of Guangzhou Locomotive Depot fifty years ago was almost the same as it is now. When the lunch time arrives, Master Zhang walked to the north end of the locomotive depot and gave the meal to his father. As a reward, his father would bought him into the steam locomotive and drove a round at the turn-around triangle line. If he was lucky, he could adjust the direction of the steam locomotive with the turntable. His father was a person with a sense of humor. His father would covered the brake handle held by his left hand with the long sleeve of his dress and said : I would not tell you my brake secret- In the steam locomotive era, every driver has a secret technique that he can only taught to his disciples, which is the brake secret that their sons should not even know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-7166478 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7166478\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1dab4f6\" data-id=\"1dab4f6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b7a2181 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b7a2181\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Master Zhang\u2019s first job on the train is to be a stoker. He said \u201c although shoveling coal is a very tiring, I love this job.\u201d He made a analogy to me: the steam locomotive costs 7 tons of coal per hour and a locomotive is equipped with two stokers, which means each person needs to shovel three and a half tons of coal per hour. The frequency of coal shoveling and the amount of coal sent into the burner should be carefully controlled. If the coal is less than it needs, the locomotive will not run; if the coal is more than it needs, the flame can not be in full contact with the air, which can easily cause the crash of the locomotive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In 1977, Guangzhou Locomotive Depot completely replaced all the locomotives with the main-line diesel locomotives, steam locomotives were successively discontinued and DF4 diesel locomotives were the replacement for the production operation.

Master Zhang became a little angry and told the staff to eat. He found out the problem while they were eating- it turned out that it was the air leakage of angle cock of the locomotive that caused the rise of the wind pressure. Master Zhang closed the angle cock that was not properly closed, and the wind pressure of the locomotive returned normal.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\">In the next 15 days, the DF9 locomotive had carried out acceleration test gradually, from the initial 80km\/h to 165km\/h and 170km\/h. Master Zhang tightly grasped the power handle with his eyes seeing nowhere but the speed indicator. According to Master Zhang, due to the influence of the power of the train, even the southeast wind in Beijing will affect the speed of the train.- the train can usually reach 175km\/h at the first semi cycle can usually but can only usually reach 165km\/h. The ring railway test base had conducted superelevation treatment for this high speed impulse test, that\u2019s why the train is always inclined on the track. If the speed of the train is not well controlled, there is a risk of turnover.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For Master Zhang, when the train reaches 170km\/h, the most dangerous thing is to run through the transition curve on the south and north sides of the ring railway. The Academy of Railway Sciences installed high-speed turnout on the transition curve on the south and north sides of the ring railway with the sole purpose of testing the stability of the new movable turnout under high-speed operation. The switch is made up with wooden sleepers, while the main line of the test is made up with cement sleepers. This is how Master Zhang described the feeling while he went through the movable turnout\uff1aonce he got to the wooden sleeper, he felt the car sinking; once he got to the cement sleeper, the head of the train lifted up again, which was very unstable. Not to mention this is a curve where the risk of turnover is at the highest.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

section of Beijing Guangzhou Railway had not been built in the 1990s. Many pedestrians usually walked on the center of the railway just it was village lane.there is an interesting rumour inside the railway bureau that every train driver carries several lives. When we asked Master Zhang if the the rumour was true, Master Zhang deeply sighed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\">Master Zhang recalled that at early 2000, Mater Zhang drove the DF9 at Qingfengting Tunnel to Pingshi Station in Shaoguan, Guangdong, seeing a mother and her daughter walking in the center of the track far away. He hooted a warning, the mother left the track, but for whatever reason, the daughter was not aware that a train was coming. He hooted warnings over and over again and turned the brake handle to the EB emergency brake position with his left hand. The brake disc of the DF9 sparked, the fan engine was fully supplying the air, and the brake had started to work to the maximum extent. Unfortunately, it failed to prevent the tragedy. When the train fully stopped, the mother realized that her daughter had had an accident. \u201c Never could I forget the mother\u2019s desperate howling.\u201d Master Zhang told us this story with a sinking heart.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5e1ee13 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5e1ee13\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8bc1998\" data-id=\"8bc1998\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a518343 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a518343\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinarailstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Capture-2-1024x707.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chinarailstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Capture-2-1024x707.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.chinarailstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Capture-2-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chinarailstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Capture-2-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chinarailstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Capture-2.jpg 1468w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Qingfengting Tunnel of Beijing Guangzhou Railway where the accident happened<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d2081fa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d2081fa\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-32592c4\" data-id=\"32592c4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-525e991 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"525e991\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fd13780 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fd13780\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e1f7fea\" data-id=\"e1f7fea\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a816778 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a816778\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">An another accident happened in the first day of Hong Kong\u2019s return.

But what was not expected was that there were two primary school students playing at the end of the Buji\u2019s bend who did not know that the training was coming. Although the effective braking distance is 1100m, it is far less than the distance between the train and the place where two students were playing.

At 11pm, the train stopped at the Shitan Station for three minutes, I tried to confirm if the door was closed with my head hanging out the window and saw two girls running towards me. They told me they were kicked off the train by the train conductor because they did not bought the ticket to the Dongguan Station. I thought, who does not want to go home and unite with their families at the Spring Festival. Besides, it was already dark, there were no decent hotels around the Shitan Station, it was not very safe for two little girls in this situation. \u201c Get on the train and I will take you to DongGuan.\u201d Master Zhang said. The two little girls without tickets sat at the copilot seat for more than one hour. Before arriving at the DongGuan Station, Master Zhang called the signal station to stop the train for the two little girls. \u201c Right here, can you see the overbridge of the Dongguan Station? You can walk to three where the ouside of is the main road, get off the train quickly! Otherwise, station attendant will catch you two because you do not have

They found me repairing the train at midnight. I had repaired DF9 many times because I knew which part is the most likely to be broken and which part is the least likely to be broken. The train broke down that night and was detained at the locomotive depot, Guangzhou Locomotive Depot had called the people from the factory to repair the train, but they failed to repair it. Because the maintenance staff only knew the specific structures of each component but did not understood the all the relationships between the parts. I am a jack of all trades and more familiar with all the parts of the locomotive than manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201c Give it to me, I will repair the car, go back to eat dumplings.\u201d Master Zhang dismissed the manufacturer\u2019s personnel and tried to find out the broken parts with a flashlight.

The lid is attached to to the chassis, causing the whole train touching the ground. I thought the manufacturer\u2019s personnel threw the train into the repair depot without trying to repair it carefully. They thought it was not a big deal whether the train was repaired or not because the train was for the test. They could repair the train the their abilities, but they simply did not want to repair it. I hated to part with this train, which in my opinion was still very useful. Because it is not easy to produce this train. Mr. Fan who designed this DF9 told me how difficult to produce this train and to compete for the right to produce it. It was just like a father only loving one of the two sons. The locomotive works of the Ministry of Railways are like his sons.<br><br>There is another reason I love this train. The trains before DF9 all had spherical slide, which were like being placed on the top of slides and vibrated greatly when it ran; DF9 was different, whose body was placed on the spring and tottered like a car when it ran, which was very satisfying.

This new type of locomotive is given more fuel, which naturally makes it easier for me to win fuel saving award.

The shifter told some newbies to run it instead of me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I refused to come home because I was not sure if the train was totally safe.

I Carried the waist-shape lunch box from the twenty fifth year of the Republic of China to the inspection warehouse (The original steam locomotive washing and repairing warehouse). Because my father was the chief driver of KD7-538 locomotive ( this is an American steam locomotive), I could climbed up the train and sometimes sat at the train and turn the train around on the triangle line. In the past, my parents accompanied me to play in the train. Now, I used my motor knowledge to play with you.
