Chapter 6 Double-Decker Passenger Cars

Luo Yonggang didn't wait for the evening to get off work, so he called the office director of the station, and called two young female conductors in the passenger section. The group of people got on Lao Song's "taxi" in a storm.

For Suifenhe, who was shouting the whole city with a loud trumpet, the indigenous people were simply familiar with each other. Luo Yong saw that it was Song Jianjun and said to Liang Haiping: "Where is Manager Liang living in Old Song's house?"

Liang Haiping nodded.

"Have Manager Liang tried Lao Song's skills?"

"I ate it at noon today, it's first-class. I haven't encountered anyone who plays wild game more authentic than Lao Song in so many years." Liang Haiping said in admiration.

"Manager Liang, you also know that our conditions are not good now. The hotel is definitely incomparable to your big city. Why don't we go to Lao Song's side? I'll get some roe deer and wild boars and let Lao Song take care of him. What do you think?"

Liang Haiping and the other two were happy, and said hello to Song Jianjun and returned to the courtyard of the old Song family. Although 1987 was not the era when roe deer and wild boars ran everywhere, it was not difficult to get one or two.

A few hours later, the group gathered around a table of wild game and feasted. There were many outsiders present. Liang Yuan could only speak without saying a word and let go of everything and bury his head to eat and drink.

Liang Haiping and Luo Yonggang refined the cooperation plan mentioned in the afternoon. The two agreed to organize a large collective loading and unloading team from Suifenhe Station, and then merge the loading and unloading team into the future large market, which is enough to ensure that the cargo transportation in the large market will be loaded and unloaded as soon as possible.

The two parties were in love with each other this time, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was high. The dishes were changed twice and they did not part until midnight. Before leaving, Liang Haiping asked Luo Yonggang to help get three sleeper tickets for the return trip. Luo Yonggang agreed and asked Liang Haiping to go to the station the next day to pick them up.

The next morning, Qilian Mountain went to the future construction site for inspection, and Liang Haiping and Liang Yuan arrived at the railway station early to collect tickets.

Liang Yuan looked at the three sleeper tickets for the 127th direct express train in Mudanjiang-Beiping, and said to Liang Haiping: "There are 127 times in Beijing, and Stationmaster Luo has put in a lot of effort. He departed in Mudanjiang in the early morning. Uncle, we have to leave Suifenhe this afternoon."

Liang Haiping looked at Liang Yuan and suddenly laughed and said, "Xiaoyuan, you still have time to sigh. If you were you, hurry up and go to the Sino-Soviet Friendship Market to buy some Soviet gadgets, and you are going back soon."

Liang Yuan asked Liang Haiping to remind him, and suddenly remembered that he left without saying goodbye and threw all the participation in the competition to the two lolitas. He didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he called Lao Song and went straight to the market.

Mudanjiang Station was brightly lit under the night. Liang Yuan was standing on the platform of the station and jumped hard, moving his body, which was a bit stiff by the wooden bench of the 22-type train car. In a short 198-kilometer journey from Suifenhe to Mudanjiang, under the 68-type construction steam engine, the 6609 train from Suifenhe-Harbin ran for more than 5 hours.

Liang Yuan let out a long breath and was about to take a deep breath when the whistle sound of the steam locomotive suddenly rang out. With the sound of Longz's starting, the fine cinders poured into Liang Yuan's mouth with the wind. Liang Yuan cursed lowly, and in his previous life, he felt that the cool image of the steam locomotive collapsed.

After leaving the station, the three of them found a small place to have a simple dinner. After staying for an hour, they boarded the 127th direct express train from Mudanjiang to Peiping.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Railways of China has an unwritten rule. All bureaus under the Ministry of Railways will allocate the best locomotives and vehicles under their management to trains in Beijing. Until the late 1980s, there were still a considerable number of construction steam locomotives in various bureaus. As early as the early 1970s, the Beijing Railways of China had achieved internal combustion of all locomotives under their management.

After the three of them entered the sleeper car, Liang Yuan ran to the bathroom in a hurry to clean his hair full of fine cinders.

Liang Haiping looked at Liang Yuan wiping his wet hair and said with a smile: "127 is much better than 6609. In the past, my uncle went back to his hometown to visit relatives and had to stay in the train for a week.

"Well, it's just from hell to heaven. Uncle, Suifenhe's affairs are almost settled. With the help of the railway, it's not difficult to build a market there. I plan to ask my aunt to take the team formed by her family to take charge of the matter there. After a while, my uncle found time to ask Qilianshan to see if he was interested in coming to work here. It's rare to see such skilled technicians who are so skilled in receiving people."

Liang Yuan bent down and continued to say to Liang Haiping while changing his slippers: "Uncle still remembers that I told you that I plan to merge the vehicle overhaul factory under my father's sanctuary?"

Seeing Liang Haiping nodding, Liang Yuan patted the hard bedroom seat under him and said, "Uncle, this kind of car is the latest 22a undercarriage produced by Changchun Bus Factory this year (Note 1). Unfortunately, it is far behind the average level of foreign buses. Therefore, in 1984, the country has arranged a World Bank loan of 60 million yuan for Changke to introduce the production technology of 25-o buses in the UK, and then absorbed the domestic production to replace the current 22 undercarriage. At present, Changke's latest 25-type undercarriage has been offline. My father and his road bureau will replace the latest 25-type undercarriage into Beijing by the end of this year."

Liang Haiping asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with the repair factory in Duanli? Duanli's factory mainly produces shunt machines and ore transport vehicles. It seems that the passenger carriage has not been produced for more than ten years."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle, please listen to me."

"After the Ministry of Railways introduced a single-layer 25-type undercarriage, given the large population of our country and the high passenger pressure, it issued a "25.5m Air-conditioning Double-Decker Passenger Train Development Bid" to the bus manufacturer in the Ministry at the end of 1985. The repair factory in this bid section has also received it. Finally, the Nanjing Puzhen Vehicle Factory officially won the bid to undertake the development of medium and short-distance double-decker air-conditioning buses. The Nanjing factory went to Canada for a visit and planned to introduce it as a whole, but unfortunately it was rejected by the above. The Ministry meant to trial the double-decker undercarriage based on the British 25-o-type single-decker undercarriage introduced by Changke."

Liang Yuan took a sip of water and continued: "Nanjing Factory has been working on it for two years in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry. This year, it has been pulled out of the double-layer car body. A few days ago, it was pulled to Peking and tested on the ring line of the Ministry. Due to the unreasonable design and the quality of the steel, the bottom of the car with a structural speed of 120 kilometers per hour can only run at most 100. I heard that the Nanchang Factory wants to pull the bottom of the car back to put on reinforcement."

Liang Yuan, who has memories of his previous life, knew clearly that the Nanchang factory pulled the double-decker undercarriage back for two years and was only launched as a tourist train at the end of 1989. After the operation, the Nanchang factory, which was forced to do it in 1991, could only seek help from the Changchun Bus Factory, which produced the 25-type single-decker undercarriage. The two factories concentrated their efforts for three years, and it was not until 1994 that they launched the stable double-decker-type 25b bus. The newly launched bus had no electronic anti-slip device, and the undercarriage construction speed was only 120 kilometers per hour, and the actual operating speed could only run 110 kilometers per hour. It was not until the late 1990s that the double-decker-type undercarriage equipped with electronic anti-slip device was increased to 140 kilometers per hour. At that time, the plan for the introduction of EMUs with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour was discussed. Large-capacity double-decker undercarriage suitable for my country's population and national conditions has no chance of further improvement and development.

"Uncle, the double-decker bottom developed by the Nanchang Factory can be said to be a failure. The main reason is that the above thought things were too simple. He thought that the double-decker bottom seemed to be built in a house. The single-decker bottom would become two layers after one layer. He never thought that although only one layer was added, the strength of the entire body, bogie, air spring, braking system, wheelbarrow, etc. would have to be redesigned. It would be strange if the double-decker bottom could be successfully developed."

Liang Haiping listened to Liang Yuan saying a lot, looked at Liang Yuan in a daze and said, "Where did you learn these things in Xiaoyuan?"

"Uh" Liang Yuan was stunned by Liang Haiping's questioning. "I saw it in the library. There are many books introducing domestic and foreign trains there. Today, my uncle just mentioned the broken carriage 6,609 times, and remembered the repair factory in the section, so I told my uncle so much."

"My uncle just asks me, Xiaoyuan, please continue talking." Liang Haiping said that this nephew had drawn a picture and got 50 million. Understanding the knowledge of trains is a little bit of a matter. It is normal for boys to like trains, guns, cars and other things.

Liang Yuan saw that Liang Haiping had returned to normal thoughts. It was probably because his uncle remembered that he was shocking 50 million, and he felt that he understood that the train problem was just a small matter.

Liang Yuan became more proud of his decision at that time and said with a smile: "Uncle, take the 22-type undercarriage we are currently riding as an example. The 22-type hard seat is 116 people, the soft seat is 64 people, the newly developed 25-type hard seat is 118 people, the soft seat is 72 people, and the double-decker undercarriage can reach 158 people, and the soft seat is 126 people. Trains with the same marshal can generate 30% more benefits. At present, the main contract is implemented. Is this kind of vehicle body very attractive to various road bureaus?"

Note 1: The bottom of the car is what we often call the train car
