[Explanation] In the northernmost part of China's territory, there is a public welfare "slow train" running all the way north from Qiqihar, crossing the Nenjiang Plain, passing through the Xing'an Forest Sea, passing the "Shenzhou Arctic" Mohe, and finally reaching the China Railway Network The most terminal passenger station in the north-Gulian.

　　[Explanation] On September 30th, the reporter took the 6245 train from Qiqihar to Gulian to experience the "Qigu slowness" of the local population.

　　The reporter saw the panoramic view of the Longjiang River along the way, but for the forest people, its real "beauty" lies in its convenience.

It not only solves the "travel difficulties" of people in poor mountainous areas, but also opens up economic channels for exchanges with central cities.

　　【Explanation】Tang Weijian, the conductor of Qiqihar Passenger Transport Section

　　This car has 16 stations along the way where passengers board and drop off, that is, other express trains do not stop. This (car) is the only way they can travel if they want to travel.

Especially under bad weather conditions, like Monk Mountain Station, this station system has now been cancelled, it is invisible in our timetable, but there are still homes, so our car stops, which provides them with a lot of convenience. They It is their hope to go to school and count on our car and go to the doctor to count on our car.

　　[Explanation] Tang Weijian told reporters that this train travels 923 kilometers one way, runs for 20 hours and 50 minutes, and stops 62 times along the way.

The hard seat fare is 49 yuan, and the average fare is less than 6 cents per kilometer. The lowest fare for the interval is only 1 yuan, which is called the "iron bus" by the local forest people.

　　Gu Lian took this train, because what? In this Daxinganling ditch, there are small stations for all ages. Those of us must take this train to the small station. The express train does not stop.

　　[Concurrent] Mr. Liu, a passenger on the 6245 train

　　For more than 20 years, taking this car anyway, for our people, it is affordable and affordable.

　　[Explanation] It is understood that the 6245 train has been in operation since 1978 for 42 years.

Chen Haihong, deputy captain of the Qiqihar Passenger Transport Section, told reporters that in fact, the facilities of this train were not good in the early years. The body of the car has been gradually replaced over the years, and the current compartment is warm and sanitary.

　　[Concurrent] Chen Haihong, Deputy Captain of Qiqihar Passenger Transport Section

　　I have been working on this train since 1992 when I joined the work. At that time, our car body was in a difficult state, that is, it was slippery from one end of the car to the other, and when we were a conductor, we were wearing it. The cotton-padded jacket, cotton trousers and cotton shoes will make your body cold.

　　[Explanation] Since the 1990s, the Chinese railway department has continuously increased the elimination and transformation of "green cars".

"Green leather cars" are almost invisible on China's main railway lines, but still maintain a certain proportion in branch lines, short-distance, and long-distance slow transportation.

In the 42 years since the 6245 public welfare "slow trains" traveled through wetlands and grasslands, they strung together forests and seas and farms, it moved forward like a green steel dragon, holding up the hope of the people along the route to get rich.
