Jiayang Train's Jiayang Train - Bashi Railway's eight features

(a) Narrow gauge. The gauge is only 762mm, so it is called "small railroad" and "small train". The track is 24 kg / m rail.

(2), more curves. The whole line **** there are 109 larger bends, plus the small bends are not counted, the total **** there are more than 200 bends. Curve shape S-shaped, horseshoe-shaped, scissor-shaped, of which S-type accounted for most of the railroad tracks along the way marked with S-type warning signs abound. It can be said that there is no straight line at all along the entire railroad. Curve arc length of the longest 274.4 meters, the shortest 13.1 meters, the minimum radius of 70 meters. The "scissors shape" is the most unique curve on this road. Because of the limitation of the terrain, it is impossible for the railroad to make a normal turn here, so the smart people of Jiayang designed it as a "scissors shape". The train travels here, the whole body does not move, only through the front of the forward and backward, the train will realize the turn around, the whole process only takes about two minutes. Domestic and foreign travelers who came to the sightseeing tour were amazed and gave their thumbs up.

(C), the slope. The average slope of the whole line nearly 30 ‰, the maximum slope of 36.1 ‰, can be said to be the country's most. The relative height difference between the highest place and the lowest place is 238.1 meters.

(4), more tunnels. There are 6 tunnels along the whole line, one for every 3 kilometers on average. The longest tunnel is 224.4 meters and the shortest is 49.6 meters.

(E), more stations. The whole **** there are 8 stations, an average of every 2.5 kilometers. From the starting station Huangcunjing outward in order: Huangcunjing station, Bargou station, Jiao Ba station, Xianren foot station, Bee Rock station, leaping into the station (also known as the three wells station), Shixi station, the end of the station. Among them, Shixi Station is a small station, also known as a stop-on-wave station. The ability to stop the train at the drop of a hat is another unique feature of the Bashi Railway's small trains. In order to facilitate the delivery of goods to farmers along the route, the Bashi Railway train can also be suspended at any location along the railroad, in order to facilitate the farmers along the route up and down the bulk of the means of production and living.

(F), locomotive old. Bashi Railway train locomotive is the use of foreign technology in China to improve the production of three locomotives. Because of this locomotive coal consumption, low thermal energy, the state has been issued in 1972 to ban the production. The locomotive uses steam for power. Before and after **** there are 7 quintals of wheelbarrows (of which 4 quintals for the nose, coal water car for 3 quintals), wheelbase is 762 mm. The body weighs 28 tons, of which the coal and water car weighs 12 tons (loaded water, coal 2.5 tons each), produced in the 1950s, the Department of Hebei Province, Shijiazhuang Power Machinery Factory production. Jiayang Coal Mine purchased nine sets from this factory in 1958, and then assembled several sets by themselves, and there are still four sets in normal operation. The normal life of this locomotive is 20 years, has been overdue for more than 20 years. Overdue for more than 20 years is still in normal use, which is inseparable from the ingenuity and careful care of the people of Jiayang.

(7), a line of multiple cars. Bashi Railway in the history of the 600 mm rail cars, pile tail train, car tractor, 762 mm pile tail train, steam train, storage battery locomotive, internal combustion locomotives, electric wire locomotives and other eight types of motive power locomotives; car type bamboo basket car, barrel car and 5 tons of iron coal car, "a line of cars" phenomenon The phenomenon of "one line, many cars" is very peculiar.

(H), beautiful scenery. Bashi Railway along the beautiful scenery. Natural scenery - the railroad through the mountains, along the way, there is no lack of deep ravines and valleys, cliffs. The mountains and deep valleys are rich in vegetation, in which thousands of rare plants - living fossils of the dinosaur era - spinulose tree ferns are scattered all over, which adds a few more colors to the natural scenery that is already fascinating and different in four seasons. Among the highlights are: the Second Tunnel, Liangshuituo, Immortal's Foot, Caiziba, Eagle's Beak, Bee Rock, and Huangshapo. Human landscape - the dense layers of terraced fields along the way, traditional farming methods, the treacherous and bleak ancient Qing Dynasty Crystal Walled City. The cottage is located near the vegetable dam, cottage area of about more than 1,000 acres, there are more than 60 farmers live more than 240 people; surrounded by cliffs, only four dangerous road up the mountain, four dangerous road on the *** set up a small cottage door 22, the big cottage door 4, so far there are still half well-preserved; cottage on the beautifully carved and preserved large and small tombstones more than a dozen. (There are also a number of magical historical legends), the ancient and the present reflect the seat of the residence, unique Zhao's Pavilion Garden, full of mysterious ancient bridge in the Qing Dynasty.
