🚂 When mentioning the ‘New National Train,’ many friends think of comfortable compartments and the scenery outside the window. But behind this train reaching its destination, there is a group of people who work silently—the national train drivers. Today, let’s get to know this north-south Xinjiang special train route from their perspective.
👨 ‍✈️ National Train Driver:The ‘Director’ on the Train
Train drivers, known as locomotive crew in the railway system, are responsible for driving the train, ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo, and arriving on time. Unlike regular trains, the operation schedule of tourist special trains is more complex, with higher requirements for smoothness and punctuality, so drivers need to plan and execute more meticulously.
A standard duty process is roughly as follows:
1. 🛌 Adequate Rest and Alcohol Test
To ensure full concentration, drivers must rest adequately at the location (at least 4 hours as per regulations) and pass an alcohol test before reporting for duty to prevent ‘driving under the influence.’
2. 📋 Receive Tasks and Travel Documents
Receive tasks from the dispatcher, verify operation notices, and record key information such as construction, speed limits, and weather changes into the driver’s logbook or input device to stay informed.
3. 🔧 Locomotive Inspection and Functional Tests
Conduct a thorough top-to-bottom inspection of the locomotive, and perform functional tests such as braking and traction to ensure the locomotive is in good condition. Then, jointly confirm the train’s braking performance with the train crew to lay the foundation for operation.
4. 📡 Coupling and Departure Preparation
Move the locomotive into position, couple it with the carriages, and complete the formation. After rechecking the train’s condition, wait for the station’s departure signal.
5. 🚦 During Operation: Using Eyes, Ears, Hands, and Mouth
While driving, the driver must operate the controls, monitor the route via devices and lookout, and coordinate with the station. They must strictly follow standardized procedures of ‘hand gestures, visual checks, and verbal calls,’ and regularly activate the ‘vigilance’ device to prevent fatigue.

In case of equipment failure or severe weather, immediately handle it according to the plan. After arriving at the destination, thoroughly hand over the operation status to the next driver to complete the work cycle.
🌟 Stringent Professional Requirements
Becoming a qualified national train driver has high standards:
🎓 Professional Background:Typically requires a secondary vocational school degree or higher in railway transportation or related fields.
💪 Physical Condition:Vision, hearing, blood pressure, etc., must meet strict standards, with no color blindness or weakness, and the ability to adapt to long-term shift work and high pressure.
📜 Qualification Certification:Must obtain a railway locomotive and vehicle driver’s license for the corresponding model, and undergo long-term on-the-job training, accumulating enough mileage to drive.
🧠 Psychological Quality:Requires a high sense of responsibility and stress tolerance to handle complex operating environments and emergencies.
🛤 ️ Driving the ‘New National Train’:Special Challenges of the North-South Xinjiang Special Train
The ‘New National Train’ north-south Xinjiang special train route is long and covers a wide area, posing a great test for drivers:
Complex Route:From the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the forest sea of Kanas, from the desert railway in Hotan to the grasslands of Nalati, the terrain, climate, and route conditions vary greatly.
Special Operation Mode:Adopting a ‘night travel, day tour’ mode, drivers must cross the Gobi and mountainous areas at night, with brief rest during the day, a dual test of routine and energy.
High Standards:Tourist special trains carry large passenger volumes and attract high social attention. Drivers must not only ensure punctuality but also ensure every brake and curve is smooth and stable.
It can be said that when you sleep peacefully in your compartment, it is the driver silently guarding your safe journey.
