"Although I haven't been doing this job for a long time, I know that this is the last step before the locomotives leave the warehouse. I can't be careless and have enough sense of responsibility. The quality of the locomotives is directly related to the train operation during the Spring Festival travel period. Safety and smooth transportation." Yuan Kai said.
The Ankang Locomotive Depot of the Xi'an Railway Bureau where Yuan Kai works is located at Ankang East Station, a hub station in the Qinba Mountain District. It is mainly responsible for pulling more than 1,800 kilometers of passenger and freight trains in and out of Xiangyu, Xikang, Yang'an, Baocheng, Longhai, and Xiping. All supplies are delivered by them. During the Spring Festival, the number of passenger and cargo transportation tasks increased significantly. The number of passenger trains in charge was up to 23 pairs per day, and the number of passenger and cargo trains must be guaranteed to be no less than 205 units per day. The maintenance tasks in Yuan Kai's workshop were particularly heavy.
The operation of the first locomotive maintenance yard is mainly responsible for the last comprehensive quality inspection of the locomotives before they leave the warehouse, and timely repairs of locomotives with hidden quality problems to ensure that the locomotives can be "healthy" online. Yuan Kai, the special inspector of the lower part, is mainly responsible for the quality inspection and fault repair of the locomotive running parts, including locomotive wheel sets, shock-absorbing circular springs, motors, axle box tie rods, sand boxes and other important running parts. Problems in any part may cause Serious consequences, so he is particularly cautious and meticulous.

"This job is very challenging and grueling. It is both a technical job and a physical job. Every car is almost exactly the same. You have to repeat the same work many times every day. You need to have a strong sense of responsibility and develop good habits. Only through working habits can problems be discovered. Some old masters have set good examples for us young people. We must pass on good traditions." Each locomotive has more than 6,000 parts in the running section. Yuan Kai wants to All inspections were completed within 30 minutes. Each shift had to inspect 8-10 locomotives, requiring them to bend down more than 1,000 times.
"When looking at a car, you can't let go of anything suspicious. You need to illuminate, touch and identify the suspicious points. You need to be sensitive to odors and look for the odor spots." In less than four months of work, Yuan Kai has mastered the special inspection of motorcycles. With the basic skills of "seeing, hearing, listening and cutting", he discovered the hidden danger of damage to the traction motor wires three times, and also received commendations and awards from the unit.
"I have liked to disassemble some electronic components since I was a child. I went to university to study mechanical molds. I used computer software to make some electrical molds. I also won the provincial individual first prize in the 'Higher Education Model' modeling innovation competition and the national competition. Many honors such as the third prize for individuals are closely related to my current work. Looking at these motorcycle parts, I have a general outline in my mind, and it is much more convenient to study their internal structure and working principles." Yuan Kai He said that he would apply the technical foundation of mold research in school to actual work.

When he was first assigned to his position, Yuan Kai took the "Harmony Electric 2 Electric Locomotive Inspection and Maintenance Instructions" issued by the workshop and study materials such as locomotive circuit diagrams and pipeline diagrams to study carefully and ponder the structural principles. He often took the materials to the locomotive. Comparing them one by one, I firmly remembered the principles of motorcycle construction in my mind. When working, he combined the theory of study with practice. If he didn't understand, he would ask questions. If he didn't know how to learn, he kept two full books of study notes. He obtained the job qualification in the shortest time and became one of the 110 students who came together. The first batch of new workers to take up their posts.
"My hometown is Hanzhong, and I spent the Spring Festival outside for the first time in my first year of work. I also worked night shifts on New Year's Eve, which was a rare experience. In the new year, I want to do my job, be good at it, and do my job well. At the same time, I would also like to thank my parents who are far away from home, thank them for their silent efforts, hope everything is well at home, and want to tell them that I have grown up and will work hard in the future, so my parents can rest assured," Yuan Kai said.
