Some netizens asked: "How to get a train driver's license?" How many categories are there for driver's licenses? Do you also take subject 3? With these questions, the Xinhua News Agency reporter went to the Shenyang locomotive depot.
Netizen: How to get a train driver's license?
Reporter: Some of the content of the train driver's license test is similar to the car driver's license test, and some are different.
Similar to the car driving test, such as the "fixed-point parking" subject, the train needs to stop smoothly and accurately after entering the station at a constant speed. The driver should estimate the speed according to the running speed, route and other references, and the error value should not exceed 3 kilometers per hour. The examiner will assess the candidate's starting train, acceleration, parking and other items, and the candidate should achieve stable starting, uniform acceleration and accurate parking position.
Different from the automobile driving test, for example, the "motorcycle inspection" subject, the examiner will set 10 fault points in the nearly 10,000 parts of the locomotive in advance, and the candidates must find the fault location within the specified time, and at the same time accurately report and record the fault location.

Netizen: How many categories are there for train driver's licenses?
Reporter: Since 2010, the locomotive driver's license network system has been gradually standardized and improved, and the current driver's license held by the locomotive crew is divided into J1 to J9, a total of 9 levels.
Among them, the J1 driver's license is the "ceiling" in the driver's license of the train, and the quasi-driving type includes all models such as EMUs, electric locomotives, and diesel locomotives; J2 to J9 driver's licenses, and quasi-driving types include diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, power dispersed electric EMUs, power centralized diesel EMUs, power centralized electric EMUs and other models.

Netizen: How long does it take to get a train driver's license?
Reporter: Trainees can only be qualified for the job appraisal assessment after half a year of study and have the opportunity to become a deputy driver. After becoming a co-driver, students need to pass the theoretical examination and practical examination organized by relevant departments to obtain the "Railway Locomotive and Rolling Stock Driving License". Finally, you can become a train driver after being qualified.
The whole process takes about 3-5 years. Each of these links must be passed in one attempt, and there is no chance of re-examination. It can be said that every train driver is a driver who has been selected through layers and selected among the best.

Sun Tao, a driver with 6 train driver's licenses, believes that a high degree of responsibility for passenger safety, excellence in driving skills, and incomparable love for the railway industry are also a "compulsory subject" for a train driver.
