What do you mean by receiving station and non-receiving station in railway station?

Receiving station refers to the station stipulated by the railway department, which is used to continuously calculate the mileage of goods sent between stations. This concept can be seen in the ticket halls of all railway stations, and the schematic diagram of railway passenger and freight settlement stations is generally displayed in all ticket halls. This concept is often mistaken for a "clearing house".

In the schematic diagram of the passenger and freight odometer receiving station, the receiving station is indicated by a red circle.

Non-receiving stations are stations that are not used to continuously calculate freight mileage between stations.

Post-1995 Train Attendant: Sketch 807 receiving stations of national railways in 90 minutes.

Zhang, 23, is a conductor at Jilin Railway Station. She has a unique business skill: she can write down the names of 807 receiving stations and more than 300 lines of the national railway in 90 minutes, and she can also skillfully recite the station sequence and arrival time of the 140 train that originated and passed through Jilin Station, with a speed of crosstalk.

Zhang found that many people who came to the window to buy tickets were middle-aged and elderly. Some of them travel long distances and need to recommend transfer routes for them. In order to quickly and effectively recommend time-saving and labor-saving transfer routes for passengers, Zhang decided to print the schematic diagram of the national railway receiving station in his mind.

Colleagues praised Zhang for his "super brain", but it takes hard work to silently draw the names of 807 receiving stations and more than 300 lines in the national railway.
