The Baocheng Railway, which connects Baoji in Shaanxi Province and Chengdu in Sichuan, is the first electrified railway in New China. The Baocheng Railway, which was put into operation in 1958, is limited by the terrain and construction conditions, and the current maximum operating speed is only 80 kilometers. Today, the trains running on the Pou Cheng Railway have become a veritable "slow train". Although the speed is not fast, but there is no lack of temperature, the public welfare "slow train" that integrates education and agriculture, tourism and sightseeing, not only helps the rural revitalization of the Qinling Mountains, but also gives new life to the old line.
During the Spring Festival, in order to ensure the safe and stable operation of passing trains, more than 200 railway employees of China Railway Xi'an Bureau Group adhered to the front line without hindrance and carefully guarded the "slow speed" in the depths of the mountains.
