There are car fans at home, and they don't play games or video games, but they regard everything related to railways as playmates. He likes the hugeness of the train, and he can't get all the way close, but he tries to get as close as he can. His holiday is not to travel, but to go to the crossing where the train can be seen, and the marshalling station silently waits and chases. Few people can understand such a hobby, but in the process of being with him, I can only silently support him when I see the joy and satisfaction revealed from the brows of his brows. The company of years has made me a "mother iron". Here I will describe them one by one, those marshalling stations!
Before the train departs, there needs to be a place to organize the team. This place is called the marshalling station. Because of this, it is the heart of the railway network. The marshalling station does not have passengers getting on and off the trains, only trains come in and out. It is a special station. The traffic flow of trucks here is the largest. Every day, a city's trucks depart from here, and return here after completing tasks, accepting new work tasks before starting.
Let me talk about the marshalling station in Nanjing, the city where we live! It is also our weekend and holiday location.
Nanjing East Railway Station
Address: No. 100, Jiefang Village, Yaohuamen, Nanjing
Nanjing East Railway Station is located in Yaohuamen, Qixia District, Nanjing City. It was originally named Yaohuamen Station. The largest double-track electrified railway hump marshalling station, freight station, and hub station in East China.
The overall station length of Nanjing East Railway Station is more than 8 kilometers, with 126 station lines, the total length of the line is 120 kilometers, and 422 sets of turnouts. The entire marshalling operation has been electrified, computerized, and double-pushed, single-slip, and one-way hump.
The railway marshalling station is the core of the railway hub, the base for the collection and distribution of trains and the unmarshalling of trains, known as the "train factory". The so-called "marshalling" is to rearrange and combine freight trains from all over the world according to their destinations, and then distribute them to all parts of the country. Nanjing East Railway Station is one of the important marshalling stations in East China. It undertakes the disintegration and marshalling tasks of freight trains on the Beijing-Shanghai, Ningtong, Ningqi and Ningxi railways. Passenger services are not handled here, only the delivery of whole vehicles for road use is handled.
Looking at these different carriages, different layouts, and high-frequency exchanges of different goods, you can feel that this is one of the super-large railway marshalling yards with more than 10,000 vehicles per day in China. It is known as the largest railway train processing plant in East China.
Raw materials produced by large enterprises such as coal, crude oil, and steel, as well as daily necessities such as vegetables, grains and oils, and express parcels are gathered here, and are reorganized and rushed to various places.
A train of gondola cars enters the station like a wandering dragon.
Car fans like trucks in different groups the most. The more complex and more varied the arrangement, the more excited he is.
There are more than 300 freight trains arriving and departing here every day and night, with an average daily handling of more than 17,000 vehicles, dismantling more than 100 trains, and undertaking the task of transporting materials to more than 20 large enterprises.
Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is a busy scene here.
late spring full of vigor
summer green dripping
late autumn colorful dress up
winter snow embellishment
Here are the most beautiful lines. The track is constantly branching here, one is divided into two, two is divided into four, and the number is constantly increasing.
The tracks become one piece here, displaying their own beautiful curves, and collocating with each other to form a beautiful one. Outline the soft and beautiful rhyme with steel lines.
Busy Dongfeng shunting trains coming and going in the station.
The "Harmony" 2B electric locomotive is an AC drive mainline freight electric locomotive jointly developed by CNR Datong Electric Locomotive and French Alstom. In September 2010, it began to work in the operation workshop of Nanjing East Locomotive Depot, undertaking the task of pulling freight trains.
The huge sound of ND5 knows its arrival even without seeing it.
The ND5 diesel locomotive with thick smoke was passing through the green forest.
The ND5 diesel locomotive has a standard male shape. Rectangular and majestic Chinese character face, tough appearance. The color is also a natural color that conforms to the public's aesthetics. It is divided into two models, the I type ND5 body is emerald green;
Type II locomotive body is dark green.
The locomotive adopts an outer corridor cover-type car body structure welded by steel plates and section steel.
The locomotive consists of the sand box, driver's cab, electrical control room, power room and cooling room from front to back. There are front and rear consoles in the driver's cab, which are convenient for viewing and manipulation.
Since 1984, ND5 has been assigned to various locomotive depots in large quantities, among which Nanjing East Locomotive Depot has the largest number, and nearly 200 ND5 locomotives are allocated at peak times, and are jointly controlled and operated by Bengbu, Nanjing East, and Nanxiang Locomotive Depots, serving as the Jinpu Railway Heavy-duty freight train traction tasks for the southern section, Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, and Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway. So far, some ND5 locomotives have reached the operating deadline. Since the popularization of electrified railways, many freight jobs in ND5 have been replaced by electric locomotives. Now ND5 is more used as station shunting, and sometimes it also acts as a link traction locomotive.
Despite this, fans' love for the ND5 is enduring. If he encounters the visual impact of ND5 fire-breathing again, it will make him very excited. I took a video and shared it with the iron chasers, talking about it for a while.
Looking forward, it appeared far away on the rails around the bend.
At first it is always a small blur, and then it quickly takes on the shape of steel.
Gradually, the details of its body can be clearly seen, and with the impact grinding between the bigger and bigger wheels and rails and the loud sound of the engine, the face suddenly appeared.
Roaring, then left indifferently, with a back view, a long time back view.
This is Nanjing East Railway Station, and the trains on the rails are ready to be dispatched to various roads, which is so exciting. Every time the child stands on the road several kilometers long on Xianxin Road, he is busy, taking pictures from above, taking pictures, and taking videos. He's so infatuated with these steel beauties who come and go.
Fengtai West Railway Station is the first stop of our Beijing summer trip. After getting off the high-speed rail and settling in the hotel, I took the bus to the largest marshalling station in Beijing—Fengtai West Station. Because there are car fans at home, our travel itinerary is different from the general parent-child itinerary. Every time we arrive in a city, we will go to its railway station, especially the historic old station, or even the old station that has been abandoned; Can perceive the economic development in this city.
Fengtai West Railway Station is a two-way tandem, three-level, eight-field road network special marshalling station. It is located in the southwestern suburbs of Beijing, beside the famous Lugou Bridge. It was built in 1956 and is the first automated hump marshalling station in China.
The northern section of the Fengtai West Railway Station is fully enclosed. Before departure, car fans study the map at home and hope that there will be an entrance and exit to enter the interior of the station. When I came to the scene, I found that the railway was blocked by high barbed wire. Dedicated car fans headed north along the Fengsha railway line. The hard work paid off, and we entered through a small door that was not locked. Finally saw the scene in front of him.
After walking for several kilometers together, they finally saw everything in front of them, and the car fans instantly felt relieved.
The railway tracks on the ground, the grid lines in the sky, the signal lights waiting on the side of the road, and the locomotives running or lying down constitute a beautiful picture.
Such a scene is beautiful, with a large space, everything is quiet except for the rolling sound of the wheels of the train passing by.

Busy shunting in the station.
Various models of Dongfeng shunting cars are busy back and forth on the track, sometimes walking alone,
Sometimes there is a long queue composed of sections of carriages.
For the railway, first of all it is its load-track, then the vehicles on the track, and then various auxiliary facilities. However, the most beautiful ones are the railway people working on the railway.
Workers are dismantling the vehicle.
The side of the railway track is the office area of Fengtai Locomotive Depot.
office
This is a closed working area. When they saw us taking pictures, the staff asked us how to enter. We just explained our purpose, because we love railways, we came here to have a look. When they came to tell us not to enter the station again, they just took a look at the side, and secondly, they were curious, "What's so interesting about this?"
Leaving here, the child is still not reconciled, because the ordinary vehicles on the railroad track make the child feel that there should be more exciting areas. We turned back along Liuzhuangzi Road and headed south for a few miles. It turned out that the dispatch command center was here.
The beautiful red building under the blue sky is the dispatch center of Fengtai West Railway Station.
Across the railroad tracks to one of the largest freight marshalling stations in the country - Fengtai West Station.
The station platform covers an area of 8.5 square kilometers, 9.5 kilometers long from north to south, and 3.5 kilometers wide at its widest point from east to west. It is the main distribution center for railway vehicles in North China and the main channel for Shanxi coal transportation.
Standing here, you will realize that it is more vivid and accurate to call it a "marshalling yard" inside the railway. Because it's big, big.
There are also many signal lights in places with many vehicles on this track. The signal lights form a landscape with the surrounding grid. It shows the beauty of industry, which is unique to railways.
The shunting cars in the garage are at rest. According to statistics, in the full turnaround time of a truck, the time spent on operation and staying at the station accounts for about 70%. From loading to unloading, trucks need to perform shunting operations on average 5-6 times, of which the time spent in marshalling stations accounts for more than 30%.
The main work of the marshalling station is to carry out the unmarshalling operation of the train, and a series of operation processes such as the arrival, disassembly, assembly, marshalling and departure of the train are completed in each yard of the marshalling station. Therefore, the arrival field, shunting yard, and departure field have become the main places for train reorganization operations.
Warm orange brings a touch of warmth to this masculine area of the railway.
A shunting locomotive on the track. Shunting equipment is the core equipment of the marshalling yard, and the number of locomotives used for shunting on the whole road accounts for about one-fifth of all locomotives in use. Its quantity and scale and the mutual positions of each yard constitute the layout diagrams of different forms of marshalling yards.
Pictures from various angles.
Figures of DF5624 from different angles.
The locomotive can be reconnected with multiple locomotives, the locomotive can be operated in two directions, it has fast starting acceleration, low fuel consumption, low noise, excellent running performance, high operating efficiency and convenient maintenance, and is very popular among users. The locomotive is divided into five parts: electrical room, driver's room, power room, cooling room and auxiliary room.
sometimes it walks alone
Sometimes it pulls long queues.
In the marshalling station, Dongfeng 7C5664 diesel locomotives can often be seen in orange and yellow. DF7C, one of the diesel locomotive models used by Chinese railways, was successfully developed by Beijing Erqi Locomotive Works in 1991. Dongfeng 7C locomotive is a diesel locomotive for shunting and small operation developed on the basis of Dongfeng 7 and Dongfeng 7B to improve the versatility of parts. Dongfeng 7C locomotive is the most produced model among the Dongfeng 7 series, and it is distributed in most railway bureaus in China. Its most important position is the marshalling and shunting operations and small running operations of large marshalling stations and large industrial and mining enterprises.
It came from afar.

close at hand
Behind the locomotive were various flatbed trucks and oil tank trucks, which drove past me mightily.
The car fans waiting on the side held up their cameras to shoot small videos.
In addition to the main body of the railway, other indispensable elements of the railway also have their own styles. For example, signal lights, in addition to high-standing signal lights, there are also ground signal lights on the ground. The signal lights gave me a cold, aloof feeling. Because it is so quietly standing by the railroad track alone, as if it is out of the way, but it decides everything, how good it feels.
In fact, what I like most among the railway elements is the track with rich curves. I always associate the curve of the track with the sense of direction with life. Where to go is your own choice.
And what I love the most is this persistent and enthusiastic car fan. Car fans should also be an indispensable element in the railway! Because of the existence of car fans, the railway has a warmer color and a more humane development.
Fengtai West Railway Station is closely connected with 8 main railway lines of Jingguang, Fengsha, Jingyuan, Jinghu, Jingha, Jingjiu, Jingtong and Fengshuang, and is responsible for guaranteeing 32 railways in North China, East China, Central Plains, Northeast China and Northwest China. The important task of orderly gathering and efficient diversion of freight trains in both directions is also an important traffic regulator to ensure the safety and punctuality of passenger trains on the way and originating and ending in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. This is the case for large marshalling yards, where the rushing carriages on the railway make it even busier.
The afterglow from the rising of the sun to the setting sun accompanies these departure and running locomotives.
From waiting at noon to sunset, I feel reluctant but have to leave. Want to come again, still need to work hard.
